Overview
- METRO expanded rail and bus service for the tournament, extended operating hours to midnight, kept fares unchanged, and deployed METRO Ambassadors and extra police for rider assistance and safety.
- The METRORail Red Line provides a direct, low-cost trip to the Stadium Park/Astrodome stop with trains every six minutes at peak periods and a $1.25 fare to encourage transit use.
- FIFA has assigned rideshare pickup and drop-off to the Yellow Lot near Entrance 16B, and the Houston Airport System advises fans to walk 10–15 minutes from the stadium before requesting rideshares to shorten wait times.
- Suburban operators from Conroe and The Woodlands are running paid shuttle services that require a valid World Cup ticket, advance booking, set fares and colored wristbands or physical tickets to board return trips.
- A free FIFA Fan Festival in East Downtown is open on a first-come, first-served basis for about 7,500 people at a time and organizers are urging fans to use hydration stations, shaded areas and cooling measures because of Houston heat.
