5/5 🧵 There’s also a bigger bill attached. Beyond train fares, New Jersey is adding tourism-related surcharges in the Meadowlands area: 3% on certain purchases, 2.5% on some hotel rooms, and support for a 50-cent ride-hail surcharge into the district. So this isn’t just “one expensive train ticket” — it’s a broader attempt to make visitors cover hosting costs. Politically, that may be defensible. Optically, it looks like a clown show. 📎 Source
