World Cup Transport Lessons Learned
from Newark News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The World Cup kicked off at MetLife Stadium with chaotic but surprisingly efficient transit — NJ Transit moved 21,000 fans (half their capacity), while bus shuttles sold 14,600 tickets out of an 18,000 cap. Manhattan’s bus lines were gridlocked, with tickets at $20, pushing some fans to choose buses over pricey trains. Despite traffic and police, buses kept moving out of the city. Penn Station was surprisingly quiet, but fans still scrambled to catch trains — one guy compared bus, train, and Uber prices, while another raved about the train’s smooth, organized flow. Officials are already planning upgrades for next time, aiming to streamline access and eke out every minute to make future games seamless for everyone.
