Mexico City orders school holidays and home office
In order to avoid traffic chaos, President Claudia Sheinbaum issued a decree ordering that classes in Mexico City be canceled on Thursday at all schools and universities.
The government also called on private companies to allow their employees to work from home. Federal civil servants should work from home if possible. Excluded from the regulation are, among others, doctors, police officers, civil protection officers and employees in the area of critical infrastructure.
The aim is to reduce the volume of traffic on the day of the World Cup opening in order to avoid traffic jams and overloading of local public transport. Mexico meets South Africa on Thursday evening (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online).

DFB stars pay fans for the bus ride to the World Cup game
In view of the high prices for bus and train journeys in New York during the World Cup, the German national soccer players have organized free transport for 600 fans to the last group game.
According to information from the German Press Agency, captain Joshua Kimmich and his colleagues will cover the costs of buses that will take the supporters from New York to the arena in New Jersey for the game against Ecuador in East Rutherford on June 25th.
To get a free ticket you have to be a member of the National Team Fan Club. If more supporters register than there are places available, the places will be allocated by lottery. The DFB team is reacting to the discussion about the sharp rise in public transport prices in some venues during the World Cup.
The transport company NJ Transit had previously reduced the prices for trips between New York and East Rutherford after severe criticism. However, they are still significantly higher than before and after the World Cup tournament.
