Governor Mikie Sherrill said FIFA should subsidize World Cup transport rather than leave taxpayers and commuters to cover the cost.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill blamed FIFA for proposed World Cup train fares exceeding $100 and said FIFA should subsidize transport. The article reports that the fare would be a steep increase over the usual return fare and that children and seniors would pay the full price.
Most coverage centers on Sherrill’s demand that FIFA cover World Cup transit costs: Reuters describes her push for a subsidy, while Fox News foregrounds reports of NJ Transit tickets topping $100. NJ.com also reports her call for commuter discounts during game-related disruptions, while the New York Post covers FIFA’s response.
