While a NJ Transit ticket from Penn Station to MetLife Stadium could cost $150 for games, Philly's authority says prices will remain $2.90 per ride.
That's nearly 12 times the regular $12.90 fare for the roughly 15-minute, 9-mile ride from Manhattan's Penn Station to the stadium.
The speculation about how high an NJ Transit ticket would be for a train ride between Penn Station and the renamed New York New Jersey Stadium for World Cup matches this summer was confirmed Friday.
The latest price tag for NJ Transit tickets — from Penn Station in Manhattan to MetLife Stadium — would mean a more than 1,000% increase from the normal cost of $12.90 for the 18-mile trip.
