He got the attention of all the uber drivers....
Why is this any different than say NFL games which routinely happen at MetLife?
“NJ Transit plans to raise prices to a staggering $100 for fans traveling from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium”
I’m confused. Isn’t it the NJ government agency doing the gouging? Does Bruce Springsteen pay for the rides his fans take to the show? Progressive women live in bizarro world.
This makes NO sense.
From the article:
NJT would be stuck with a $48 million bill... as they are tasked with carting upwards of 40,000 fans
So, it will cost NJT $1000+ for each fan transported?
And that is 40,000 total over eight games. So, 5000 people per game, on trains. They can add cars on trains to carry more right?
I smell a grift going on.
They can't do mass transit on their mass transit system?
How about ‘demanding’ that they don’t inflate the prices 775%?
FIFA should contract with larger state universities for the venues. Screw the blue cities.
How nice of the Caitlin McCormack at the NY Post to omit that the previous administration was a Democrat administration, that of Phail Murphy.
We expect Democrat governor Mikie Sherrill to omit that, but Caitlin McCormack and the NY Post had the opportunity to point that out.
You didn't "inherit" anything, Mikie Sherrill, YOUR team put it in place.
If they can get FIFA to cough up money, those fees can be directed toward overtime and bonus incentives for the employees working those trips.
The state likely fought to have these games in NJ for the economic development and tourist dollars. Now they want to renege on their agreement to host.
Another one of their communist AWFLs wanting to awful things to America.
The Sanctuary Barbie Smurf Twins, Spamburger and Minkie Sherrill are both in their heads. ROTFL!
Why does anyone need to pay for the fans? Once the train reaches capacity which helps the transit systems, fans will uber, taxi, limo, bus, charter, to the stadium.
This whining is preparing the fans for a money grab.
LOL! Good luck with that Schmuckie. FIFA is as corrupt as the UN or the IOC... when they award the World Cup to a host nation (or nations in this case) they are going to make millions off that decision.
Why do they have to raise fares at all? How much different is this from a Giants or Jets game?!
Well, instead of whining and crying and complaining and “fuming,” turn to creating a solution — a solution that doesn’t involve me, by the way. What a novel concept.
As of April 2026, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has proposed a FY 2027 budget that includes over $1 billion in direct state operating support for NJ Transit, representing a 26% increase over the previous year to improve reliability and capital projects. The plan includes $782 million for capital projects and focuses on upgrading aging infrastructure, including new rail cars and buses.
Its a forever financially failed system with ridership and fares that cannot keep the system operating. Pouring billions more from the taxpayers into a failed system will only INSURE the taxpayers will have to keep doing so forever. A subsidized system has no market oriented incentives to correct it’s fiscal situation so that its operations and its fares are a financial match.
A really good NJ governor would pack the NJ transit board and demand its components be sold off to private investors. There are parts of NJ transit - certain lines - that could be profitable but that is not true for most of the system. Cut to only the most financially feasible lines, without needing to prop up the rest of the system, a private NJ transit could do as well as many airlines.
Greedy leftist d-bags.
