I assume their crack about exhorbitant transport cost is about New Jersey adjusting pricing to cover their costs. I assume BC is just letting the taxpayer cover those kind of costs.
…. The cost breakdown, first reported by The Bergen Record, shows how the agency expects to handle roughly 40,000 spectators per match traveling between New York Penn Station and East Rutherford, one of the busiest transportation demands the region has faced in decades. Even after a $10.7 million federal grant and an additional $3.6 million contribution from the region’s host committee, NJ Transit still projects about $48 million in remaining costs….

They're not 'adjusting prices ' in New Jersey, they're providing a lot of additional trains from New York. They have to be booked, and they'll cost $150 US return. That's because there's a promise from the governor of New Jersey that regular commuters won't pay for the special event, particularly as some regular trains will be disrupted on game days.
There's no comparison with taking transit here - their journey is 300km and takes at least three and a half hours.
