@MikeInganamort @NJAssemblyGOP @AlBarlas1 @NJAsmGerry @9thDistrictNJ @FIFAWorldCup Please ask how much money had already been spent on the fanfest before it was canceled

What the hell is going on here? The NY/NJ World Cup Host Committee took $50 million from New Jersey taxpayers, bought 1,000 tickets at full price, then turned around and sold them for $50 to New Yorkers. New Jersey families paid the bill, New Yorkers got the bargain. And the person chairing this committee is New Jersey’s former First Lady. At some point, this stops being incompetence and starts looking like contempt for New Jersey taxpayers.

@PATHTrain "ALL Friday late night service will operate every 20 minutes" Can you please define how "all" excludes one of your two lines?

@Jamesinclair We understand your frustration, James. Please contact us at the email provided so someone can address your concern.

EVERY LINE EVERY DAY service begin 5/17! - Sun 5/17: Weekends 10am-9pm, direct JSQ-33 and direct HOB-33 (every 10 mins), and direct HOB-WTC service (every 20 mins) begins. - Fri 5/22: Late night service runs every 20 mins between 11:30pm and 2am Saturday ow.ly/3X1850YVf6A

@PATHTrain Every single announcement up until you posting this said that 20 minutes frequency would apply to both lines. This is inexcusable.

Apologies for the confusion, James. To clarify, the new 20-minute Friday night service only applies to the JSQ-33 via HOB line, not the NWK-WTC line. That is why you may see the updated schedules reflected for the JSQ-33 via HOB line, but not for NWK-WTC. You can find more details in the May 15 press release here: panynj.gov/port-authority…

$80 was too damn high to be charging for a bus ride to the World Cup. We stepped in to bring ticket prices down and saved 20% of them exclusively for New Yorkers. Thousands of fans have already booked their spot on our reduced-priced shuttle buses. Get yours today!

@PATHTrain I clicked download latest data and both the schedule tab and plan trip tab show the old schedule for tonight. This page also does not show an updated schedule: panynj.gov/path/en/schedu…

Hi, James. Yes, Friday night service improvements begins tonight. I'm unable to view your image, but the schedules are updated on our end. Make sure you're app is up to date by tapping the "More" button in the bottom right corner. Scroll to the bottom and tap "Download Latest Data." This should do the trick if you're not seeing the latest schedules.

@PATHTrain It's Friday. App still not updated. Are the trains running every 20 minutes tonight after 11pm or no

@Jamesinclair Hello, James. We understand your concerns. Our teams are aware that these schedules are not yet updated and will be making the necessary changes prior to the start of the weekend. These changes will still begin this Friday. We apologize for the inconvenience.

@survivor_p55372 @Colleenallreds @FWC26NYNJ Hard to in terms of payback for what you get. Train or parking plus ticket plus overpriced beers... And then you sit in a shitty stadium seat? The liberty park one at least was a good park worth visiting

@Jamesinclair @Colleenallreds @FWC26NYNJ To be fair, it's not THAT hard to get to. Walking distance from Newark Penn and it's right on the PATH. I just refuse to pay to go watch a game on a big screen and pay $15 for a pint when I can go to a bar

Just to be clear: The NYNJ host committee - a bistate nonprofit planning a soccer tournament in East Rutherford, NJ - bought 1,000 World Cup tickets at full freight and gave them to New York City to give to their residents for $50. And gave 0 to NJ. northjersey.com/story/news/new…

@survivor_p55372 @Colleenallreds @FWC26NYNJ The jersey city fanfest was supposed to have ferry access from multiple points in NYC. The red bull stadium is annoying to get to and feels like deep nj

@Jamesinclair @Colleenallreds The ineptitude of the people in charge at @FWC26NYNJ can't be understated. Put these events on days of games at Metlife, so any huge fan of Norway/France will already be at the match It's truly unbelievable

@survivor_p55372 @Colleenallreds Dj snake also mostly not sold what a disaster

@survivor_p55372 @Colleenallreds Lmao cheapest tickets are $75? I'll put it on my calendar maybe I can get a good deal the day of. Kygo and kaleo are legit draws!

@survivor_p55372 @Colleenallreds It wasn't moved, the red bull stadium one popped up as a replacement with an endorsement after the fact. Of course no tickets have been sold. It should be free like everywhere else on earth. They make money on beer and food sales

@Jamesinclair @Colleenallreds Na, the moved it to RBA, now Sports Illistrated Stadium, and barely any tickets are sold

World Cup host committee, overseeing transit, is found asleep at the wheel. @Colleenallreds @katesobko northjersey.com/story/news/new…

@humantransit Downtown loops are great. The eliminate the need for transfers and spread out crowds

You can tell an urban commentator isn't a transit planner because they praise loops. Loops are sometimes necessary kludges. But ... Very few people want to travel in circles!

@NJTRANSIT @NJTransit_CA why is there no contingency for NEC? Use tracks A and 5 in Newark and turn trains around. Use the Hoboken waterfront connection. Why is every train between Newark and Trenton (+long branch) stopped for over an hour instead doing anything else?

Due to a brush fire near one of the Hudson River Tunnels, NJ TRANSIT rail service is suspended into and out of Penn Station New York. Midtown Direct trains are being diverted to Hoboken.

@NJTRANSIT Instead of your conductor yelling "listen to the announcements" to paying customers asking why we haven't moved for 30 minutes, how about ensuring the speakers work? There were no announcements in car #7642

1 of 2: Due to a brush fire near one of the Hudson River Tunnels, NJ TRANSIT rail service is suspended into and out of Penn Station New York. Midtown Direct trains are being diverted to Hoboken.

@MaxBretosSports CWC was before $15,000 visas and mandatory social media reviews

My guess they held too many hotels rooms, short term rentals are being used and folks banking on last minute deals. Visitors came for CWC last summer, they are coming for the biggest World Cup ever.

Meanwhile, back at the NY-NJ ranch... we requested a dollar figure for how much the host cmte raised but got nothing. They have 7 sponsors. Our story on the fraying relationships surrounding NYNJ's host cmte amid transit tickets controversy. LINK ➡️ northjersey.com/story/news/new…

Philadelphia's Fan Fest is free and open for 39 days. Its train is $2.90 to matches and $0 back. How is the city doing it? The host committee tells me it started fundraising in 2020, and its private funding total will come out to about $60-$65 million. frontofficesports.com/philadelphia-f…

@JeremiahDJohns Excuse the shit source but

The biggest thing happening behind the scenes in the "expensive lunch" discourse is that Zoomers are eating out at ridiculously high rates. It's a silent assumption for a ton of young people that restaurants are a basic necessity, not an occasional treat.
