New Jersey Transit will charge World Cup fans riding to MetLife Stadium $150 for a roundtrip ticket, while service for regular commuters from New York’s Penn Station into New Jersey will suspend for four hours before a match, officials announced Friday.

The transit agency and the New York New Jersey Host Committee leaders outlined transportation details for the eight games that will be played at the stadium, including the final match on July 19. Officials are urging people who are not attending the event to work from home, especially on June 22 and June 30, when those matches will coincide with weekday evening rush hour.
