Super mess: Fans complain of mass transit chaos
The Denver Broncos could have done a better job running NJ Transit trains, some say
By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo News | Yahoo News – 2 hrs 18 mins ago
Super Bowl organizers spent four years planning for Sunday's big game, bracing for bad weather that never came and security threats that — save for one 9/11 truther with a bogus badge — never materialized.
But for thousands of fans attending the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., getting there — and getting home — was a super mess.
According to the Newark Star-Ledger, officials expected between 10,000 and 12,000 people to take the train to the game. Instead, nearly 28,000 did, NJ Transit said.
After the game ended, an announcement over the loudspeakers instructed fans to delay leaving MetLife Stadium due to overcrowding on train platforms.
"Mass chaos," NJ.com declared, asking readers to share reports of their nightmare commutes.
