Germany's players will finance 600 fans' bus trips to their final World Cup group match against Ecuador in New Jersey on June 25. This initiative follows criticism of inflated transport costs during the tournament, with train fares rising significantly. Initially set at $80, shuttle bus prices have now been reduced to $20.
