World Cup Crowds Crushed Transit

The World Cup sent Santa Clara’s transit system into overdrive, with VTA hauling 37,000 fans to Levi’s Stadium for Switzerland vs. Qatar—surpassing Super Bowl ridership by 6,000. Nearly all light rail trains ran, buses were added, and 100 ambassadors guided crowds. Fans loved the $2.50 tickets over $85–$1,000 parking, and even called the train ride part of the experience. Minor chaos—confusing routes, app errors, and post-game crowding—was offset by VTA’s record-breaking 90-minute stadium clearance, thanks to seamless teamwork with BART and Caltrain.
