World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I can't speak for other countries, but at the world cup in Germany, your ticket to the stadium was your ticket for public transit, and it was all inclusive.
*Laughs in American
It's a lack of joined up thinking is what it is. Surely the US want as many people as possible at the tournaments (or at least city officials do, it's anyone's guess what the admin think is going on), the amount of money tourists pay to stay in a hotel will far exceed the amount of money they pay on these over inflated public transit tickets. So make public transit affordable, so they actually come to the event, stay in the hotel, and spend money in the local economy.
Or you can try and price gouge them on a bus ticket and they won't come. Now you've made no money at all, well done.
The US's problem isn't that it's a hyper capitalist country, it's a hyper capitalist country run by MBA business study incompetents who only care about chasing short term profits at the expense of long-term profits.
You just tell us if you need a socialized hug, okay?
Laughs in $22 train ticket from Sydney Airport to Central Station.
Remember to protect your social services from the neoliberal plague or this could be you.
The airports can be far away from the city center. I recently paid 10 euros to get to the airport by bus but it was 1h drive. Where I live it's more like 15 minutes and it's about 2 euros.
About 40 years too late for that advice. 😒
It's never too late

They often do that for large conventions in Germany in general. At least at a city level.
I think it was the same in Russia, it included the visa and public transit, or maybe you could buy a package that included all? 🤔
I think Russia even included long distance public transport, that wasn't included in Germany if I remember correctly.
Yes you are right, I just asked my friend who attended
You displayed a fifa credential on a lanyard and you could ride long distance trains between host cities and local public transit for free
I dislike FIFA and Russia, but this is how it should be done.
Didn’t it also include special accommodations for homosexuals?
Yes, the US thought of this as a great idea and made the same for everyone with a slightly foreign appearance.
