New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill criticized FIFA over reports that NJ Transit tickets for World Cup matches could exceed $100, citing an inherited agreement that provides zero transportation funding from the organization.
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.
