A proposed $150 fare to travel to and from New Jersey's rail stations for the upcoming World Cup has sparked widespread outrage among commuters and fans. The hefty fee, which is significantly higher than the usual fare, has been met with criticism from lawmakers and residents who argue it will price out many fans who want to attend the international soccer tournament. The move is seen as a cash-grab by some, with the state looking to capitalize on the influx of visitors expected during the World Cup. As the event draws near, New Jersey residents and visitors alike are left wondering if the high fare is worth the cost of attending the highly anticipated tournament.
