Why World Cup visitors are making a surprising stop at Bucee's
Jun 16, 2026
There is one Texas attraction that’s drawn some unexpected attention from World Cup visitors – Buc’ees. The Trinity Metro even offers a 20-minute shuttle from Downtown Fort Worth to the North Fort Worth Buc-ee’s location.
The massive gas station is known for its billboards, brisket statio
n, and beaver nuggets.
A German fan, who goes by Freddy on X, appears to have gotten the most attention online with his posts about the gas station chain Buc-ee’s.
“It is really just something that if you’re not from Texas, you hear about it and want to experience it. So we thought, let’s try something new,” Richard Andreski, President/CEO of Trinity Metro said. “We’re not sure how many people will ride, but we’re going to learn some things.”
An all-day pass runs $10 to 20 dollars. Shuttles run on non-match days every 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the route taken.
“It’s really amazing. They’re not only like a gas station, but they’re like a supermarket,” said Daisuke Miyaushi, a Japan fan visiting from Chicago. “So it’s really an amazing experience for us.”
NBC 5 spotted several tourists checking out the super-sized store, including fans from Japan, who played the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw on Sunday at Dallas Stadium.
“Maybe we spent too much, I think,” Miyaushi said while laughing.
The TRE can also take you to the Arlington Entertainment District or Victory Park in Dallas.
