MetLife Stadium Shuttle Slashes Fares to $20 for World Cup Fans

The Official New York New Jersey Stadium Shuttle has slashed its roundtrip price. The cost dropped from $80 down to just $20 for fans heading to FIFA World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium. Transportation planners are bracing for waves of visitors who won’t be able to park personal cars at the venue when World Cup games kick off.

The shuttle departs from the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine Park and Ride along Route 3 near Clifton. It ferries fans straight to the stadium. Riders need valid match tickets to climb aboard. Through an online booking system, fans pick their match date and indicate how many shuttle seats they need, plus whether they’ll park at the Clifton lot.

According to News12, the trip covers 5.7 miles. On regular days, it takes about 10 minutes. Match days will be different. Officials anticipate longer waits.

Transportation planners view the shuttle as one piece of a bigger World Cup strategy. Fans have options: NJ Transit trains, rideshare pickups, limited parking at American Dream, or designated drop-off zones near the pedestrian bridge that leads to the venue. This approach aims to reduce traffic jams while monitoring how many people flow in and out during matches.

No general parking allowed during FIFA matches. Period. This leaves thousands of visitors searching for alternative ways to reach the venue and get back home.

Traffic will surge when the World Cup arrives. Transportation experts urge fans to map out their plans way ahead of time. Getting there won’t resemble a typical football game day — not even close.
