Claim 2: “Transit fares from New York to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for World Cup matches will rise to $150”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm that NJ Transit initially hiked fares to $150 for World Cup train rides, subsequent evidence shows that this price was lowered to $105 following criticism. Presenting the $150 figure as the current or final fare is misleading given the reported price reduction.
