Transport prices for the upcoming World Cup in New Jersey have reportedly been reduced following strong backlash from fans over high travel and commuting costs.
Authorities and organisers had initially faced criticism over inflated fares for key transport routes linking stadium areas, airports, and fan zones. Supporters argued that the original pricing structure risked discouraging attendance and making the tournament less accessible.
After mounting pressure from fan groups and local stakeholders, officials have now agreed to cut prices on selected routes and introduce more affordable travel passes for matchdays. The move is aimed at improving accessibility and ensuring smoother crowd movement during the tournament.
The decision has been welcomed by fans, who say lower transport costs will make it easier for international and local supporters to attend matches and explore host cities during the competition.
