Fans heading to the World Cup in the U.S. are facing a new source of sticker shock: mass transit. In New Jersey and Massachusetts, some train fares tied to matches will cost fans far more than normal NFL gameday trips.
We have some world Cup games in my city. The stadium they are using is definitely walkable but it might take about 45 minutes to walk there. The easiest way to get there is the regional rail connection so hopefully the transit authority runs more trains. You can fit 3 or 4k people in a commuter train at crush load so it shouldn’t be terrible.
Considering that new York city has one of the better transit systems in North America I couldn’t imagine how bad it’s going to be in Dallas.
