World Cup Transit Costs Outrage
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has lashed out at FIFA, demanding the organization shoulder the burden of transit costs rather than passing them on to the public.
The 'inherited' host agreement absolves FIFA of paying for transportation, leaving local agencies with multi-million dollar game-day bills.
Similar price hikes have been locked in for Boston, where bus trips to the stadium could reach $95.
With group-stage seats already priced at $4,000 and finals tickets expected to top $10,000, the hidden costs of the tournament are sparking widespread outrage among fans and local officials alike.
