The other options are ride share and expensive shuttle buses from designated expensive park-and-ride locations. Parking: $225. Shuttle $80. Limited availability.

The story is familiar. FIFA gets the revue. The host city gets the lions share of the costs. NJ Transit says that the event committee chipped in $3 million on a $48 million burden. NJT also says they can't justify passing this one-time cost to future riders.
