The habit gets a new name.
NJ Transit’s “reduced” price for World Cup train tickets is still a steep $105. The 18-mile journey takes less than an hour each way. The price was lowered from $150 after backlash, but it’s still a far cry from the usual $12.90 each way. The World Cup is bringing out the big bucks. FIFA’s ticket prices are already causing a stir, and now NJ Transit is cashing in too. The $105 price tag is a reminder that convenience comes at a cost.
