There will be traffic on Tuesday. Lots of it. It is a local World Cup game day. Consider walking, biking, or taking transit whenever possible. In a match of transit vs. traffic, transit wins. Every time.

Save your yelling for tomorrow’s first NY/NJ World Cup match, not the car in front of you.

Pick transit over traffic for the World Cup.
Shoulder to shoulder is better than bumper to bumper. Pick transit over traffic this World Cup. Visit nyc.gov/WorldCupReady for more information.
