As millions of soccer fans descend upon New York City for the FIFA World Cup, the city's already-strained transportation system has reached a breaking point. Gridlock is plaguing major roads and highways, causing lengthy delays and frustrating commuters. Travelers heading to or from LaGuardia and JFK airports are being hit particularly hard, with reports of chaotic transit planning and overcrowding at key transportation hubs. With the World Cup generating an estimated 1 million visitors over the next few weeks, the city's transportation infrastructure is being put to the test in a way that's never been seen before.
