World Cup Transit Fares Spark Outrage

The usual fare for the nine-mile route is just $15, leading to accusations of price gouging against state officials.

NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri defended the move, stating the agency is attempting to recoup $62 million in costs only partially offset by grants.

The controversy has ignited a fight between New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and soccer's world governing body.

Fans from England, set to play Panama at the stadium, face particularly high costs for what is normally a routine commute.
