州长要求国际足联承担世界杯交通费用，新泽西交通局考虑收取高达 100 美元票价
Read, Watch or Listen
East Rutherford, New Jersey: Governor Mikie Sherrill on Wednesday demanded that FIFA contribute toward transportation costs after reports this week said NJ Transit is considering charging up to $100 for round-trip train fares between New York Penn Station and MetLife Stadium for eight World Cup matches beginning June 11. Sherrill said the administration inherited an agreement with no FIFA funding and cited an estimated $48 million bill to shuttle roughly 40,000 fans per game. This week NJ Transit’s board approved giving CEO Kris Kolluri temporary authority to set final ticket pricing to cover costs, and federal and state officials including Senator Chuck Schumer have urged FIFA to help. Transit agencies in other host cities, including the MBTA in Boston, confirmed elevated event fares, and officials say they will either seek FIFA contributions, approve temporary fare increases, or reallocate budgets ahead of the tournament.

如果实施更高的票价，新泽西交通局和地方当局将获得短期收入，以支付安保和运营成本；活动主办方和私人供应商可以从增加的与活动相关的支出中获益，而国际足联则可以避免直接的交通费用，除非被迫承担。
如果机构将有限的预算重新分配给世界杯的交通费用，通勤者，特别是低收入球迷和 नियमित NJ Transit 乘客，将面临更高的出行成本和潜在的服务质量下降。
