Description
FIFA and local transit authorities have come under fire for what fans say are exorbitant transit fares to get to World Cup matches, many of which are in stadiums located relatively far outside their major metro areas. Scotland fans based in Providence, RI - nicknamed the Tartan Army - came up with an alternate solution: over 20 school buses at an extremely discounted rate. GBH News' Jeremy Siegel gained exclusive access to one of the buses in the fleet, and accompanied the excited fans to a match against Haiti.
