Will the ‘Car-Free’ Los Angeles Olympics Work?

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

The 2028 Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles and are expected to host 15,000 athletes and over 1 million spectators.

In 1910 , Los Angeles had a widely used local rail network, with over 1,200 miles ( 1,930 kilometers ) of track.

In the mid-1940s , many Angelenos rode streetcars, especially during World War II , when gasoline was rationed and automobile plants shifted to producing military vehicles.

L.A. organizing committee is planning heavily on using buses to move people.

It will do this by reassigning some lanes away from cars and making them available for 3,000 more buses.

After the Games end, most of LA is likely to quickly revert to its car-centric ways.
