NJT tickets are normally subsidized by the state government. The Governor asked FIFA to chip in, so the taxpayers aren’t footing the bill for the extra Wold Cup traffic. FIFA refused, so NJT is taking it out on the attendees. (And no, no one believes the state is normally subsidizing $135 per train ticket, this is just revenge for FIFA’s “You should be thankful we’re giving you a game” attitude.)

Isn’t that, like, all transit though? If the RV show is in town I wouldn’t expect them to pay for transit either.
