Fans leaving FIFA World Cup Games at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field will have access to free train rides home, the local organizing committee announced Monday.
SEPTA (the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) struck a partnership deal with World Cup sponsor AirBnB that covers any fans train ride along the B (Broad Street) line, beginning at halftime of any match and lasting up to two hours after full time.
SEPTA had previously announced that B line fares will stay at a consistent $2.90 for fans traveling to matches.
The deal comes in sharp contrast with recent news from neighboring New Jersey that NJ Transit rides will cost up to $150 round-trip from New York City to MetLife Stadium during the tournament.
An AirBnB spokesperson told Philly Voice that the company is only covering Philadelphia transit fares because the city came to them with the desire to prioritize reasonable fees.
As part of the first 48-team World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, Philadelphia will host five games in the group stage and a Round of 16 knockout match on July 4, the day the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary.
