Sherrill's statement comes a day after report NJ Transit planned to charge $100-plus for a train ticket that usually costs $12.90.

FIFA is pretty awful for not subsidizing transit here the same as previous World Cups, but also shouldn’t New Jersey be able to run a few extra trains for a special event without having to increase fares 7x?

In her post, Sherrill did not deny the plan to set ticket prices above $100, nor has the host committee or NJ Transit, which has merely said its pricing plan is yet to be finalized.
