The move comes after officials in Boston charged $80 for round-trip train tickets to Gillette Stadium. England fans are also taking a similar approach by commissioning private coaches to take them to matches in Boston, New York, and Dallas.
Scotland fans have hired a fleet of more than 30 American yellow school buses in an attempt to swerve extortionate travel costs at the World Cup .
Wily Tartan Army members have commissioned the iconic mode of transport after officials in Boston decided to charge a staggering $80 for round-trip train tickets to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, where Steve Clarke's men face Haiti and Morocco. Indeed, many have also chosen to base themselves in Providence, Rhode Island, south of the stadium, in an attempt to secure cheaper accommodation away from Boston itself.
Buses will be charged a belief-defying $650 for parking at the venue, but Scots believe that sharing the burden and travelling on the school buses will mean the trip will cost each fan around $30. Car parking at Gillette will cost $175. For NFL matches, the train to the stadium costs $20.

In an attempt to make further savings some are taking indirect flights to the US from the UK via places such as Reykjavik, Iceland
