  • Meadowlands rail line and the FIFA World Cup

    From Renee McNeely@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 19 20:17:26 2024
    Is there a reason why the MTA and NJ Transit are so deathly allergic to
    having special schedules for events or having somewhat decent access to stadiums? The Meadowlands rail line can barely handle concerts and NFL
    games, and things are gonna be extra bad if the most popular sporting
    event on the planet can't even have serviceable train transit access.
    Even if you had double-decker buses and ride-share, having 86,000+
    people stranded at the most important soccer (football) game in the
    world is a recipe for disaster and chaos.

    As I've said for years. "Whatever NJ Transit proposes, do the opposite."
