Is NJ Transit up for hosting the World Cup in 2026? Commuters are skeptical.

Is NJ Transit up for hosting the World Cup in 2026? Commuters are skeptical.

Thousands of fans waited hours for trains as they tried to leave the big game, which the Seattle Seahawks won 43-8 over the Denver Broncos. At one point, because of crowding, fans wereasked to remain in the stadium until more trains arrived. NJ Transit deployed emergency buses to help get fans home. The last stragglers weren’t picked up until around 1 a.m., three hours after the game ended.

“The trains tend to be really slow in and out of Penn Station,” said Amy Lauren, 54, of Montclair. “I'm late for work almost every morning.” “One of the main determinants of success for transit as we approach the World Cup is absolutely going to be whether they're funded or not,” said Zoe Baldwin, the Regional Plan Association's New Jersey director. “Without sustainable funding, they're going to be taking on a massive undertaking on a shoestring budget.”
