US Senator Chuck Schumer is demanding FIFA cover public transportation costs for the 2026 World Cup to prevent massive fare hikes for local commuters. The move follows reports that transit prices in host cities could quadruple during the tournament.
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.
