World Cup Train Fare Controversy

New Jersey Transit and FIFA are embroiled in a feud over who should cover the operational costs for the tournament at MetLife Stadium.

Officials cited the need for extra security and infrastructure that are not covered by the international football body.

The price hike has drawn sharp criticism as other host cities have managed to keep transportation costs significantly lower.

Fans are being warned that the high transit fees could make attending the matches unaffordable for many families.
