The core assertion — that NJ Transit is limiting train ticket sales to 40,000 per match for FIFA World Cup 2026 — is directly and precisely confirmed by NJ Transit's own official press release, which constitutes a Tier 1 primary institutional source. The figure is corroborated by multiple independent Tier 4 outlets including CBS New York, NBC New York, NJ1015, and ROI-NJ, each reporting from separate institutional origins. The claim was aired on the same day as the official announcement (April 17, 2026), making the data current as of air date. The verbatim phrasing 'a limit... only 40,000' accurately reflects the announced policy without material omission or distortion. No correction, retraction, or conflicting figure has been identified in any source. Minimum source requirements for TRUE are met with substantial headroom: one Tier 1 source plus multiple independent Tier 4 sources, with INDEPENDENT source_independence.
