Los Angeles will urge public transit at 'no car' 2028 Olympic Games - CNA
PARIS : Los Angeles, a city famous for its passionate car culture and notorious for its traffic, will strongly emphasise the use of public transportation when it hosts the Olympic Games in 2028, LA Mayor Karen Bass said on Saturday. LA is the birthplace of the modern freeway system but its decades-l...
will urge
You literally make the laws
And the infrastructure is definitely lacking in LA. You can't just tell people to use public transport and have like one bus an hour that takes you 3 miles from where you need to be.
Well you just transfer 5 or 6 times between municipal bus systems dummy!
I looked up getting downtown by bus one time from 15 miles away, would have taken 3 municipal system transfers, a long with their crappy wait times. No one is getting out of a car with that.
That's great, let's hope they invest in the infrastructure needed to make it convenient.
Bass said the city will utilize 3,000 buses loaned to it from around the country to ease traffic congestion. The U.S. government last month pledged $900 million to help improve the city's rail and bus systems in anticipation of the Games.
They had really extensive plans in 1984 that accomplished amazing things. And then immediately got rid of them after the Olympics.

Make public transport free and make it extensive. I'm sure ridership will skyrocket. If they keep it the way it is or let Musk build another one of his Tesla tunnels, they're going to have a bad time.
I wish this was a thing in Houston for just regular events at NRG. NRG not providing parking would be great!
All fun and games until the Danish tourists are robbed at gunpoint on a shitty LA bus.
This idea that public transit is more dangerous is completely inaccurate. 330 traffic fatalities in 2023 in LA. That's almost 1 day.
I mean if they're saying no cars, then all the athletes and judges and higher up exec types, the news, everyone should be riding the bus. If it doesn't apply to the "special" people, it shouldn't apply to anyone.
