With the FIFA World Cup approaching, fans heading to MetLife Stadium are being hit with soaring travel costs, some touching $150 for short distances.

Concerns over accessibility

Organisers under pressure
As the tournament draws closer, questions are being raised about whether better transport planning and price regulation could ease the burden on fans.
