00:00You may have seen some recent headlines about transportation costs for World Cup games in New Jersey.
00:05So, let me tell you exactly where things stand.
00:09Our administration inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing zero dollars for transportation to the World Cup.
00:17Zero.
00:18That leaves New Jersey Transit with a 48 million dollar bill to safely get 40,000 fans to and from
00:26every game.
00:27At the same time, FIFA is making 11 billion dollars off of this World Cup and charging fans up to
00:35$10,000 for a single ticket for the final.
00:38I won't stick New Jersey's commuters with that tab for years to come.
00:43That's not fair.
00:44So, here's the bottom line.
00:46FIFA should pay for the rides, but if they don't, I'm not going to let New Jersey commuters get taken
00:51for one.
