May ‌7 (Reuters) - New Jersey lowered its ‌round-trip fare to World Cup games at MetLife Stadium ‌to $105 from $150 on Thursday, local ⁠media reported, after the original price drew criticism from FIFA.

The reduced fare ​still dwarfs the less than $15 the same ⁠route costs on a typical day and exceeds the $80 round-trip fare for FIFA’s own shuttle service to the 82,500-seat stadium, which will host eight World Cup ‌matches ⁠including the final on July 19.
