Or -just a totally unhinged idea- don't increase the prices for transportion by +900% to exploit World Cup visitors...

You can afford World Cup tickets you can afford helping us keep our barely-standing transit afloat tyvm.

He added: “I’ve traveled to a country in every continent, and I’ve never not struggled with public transport in the first day. Is it really that odd that Europeans didn’t know the route to the MetLife?”

No, but it is weird when the locals say "that's a bad idea", and the response is "nuh-uh, you just don't understand walking!"

It's really stupid that there is no reasonable, walkable route between those locations. But that's the reality there.
