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.
There’s always a grift coming on from some person or organization who seizes on an opportunity like this. It is not right, but they are apparently unconcerned about that. What can I say but....”the day’s coming”.
C'mon man, it's NJ!
Of course grift... This is NJ/NYC ! ! ! !
