Governor Sherrill called on FIFA to pay $48 million in transport costs to avoid massive fare hikes for New Jersey commuters.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and Senator Chuck Schumer are demanding that FIFA cover transportation costs for the 2026 World Cup following reports that NJ Transit fares could spike by 775% to $100 per trip.
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.
