Karen Bass, the mayor, pledged to make the Games car-free, but the sprawling city’s public transit falls far behind that of previous host cities

I was a bit pessimistic about this being possible, but to see that we did this in the 1984 Olympics without any light rail is pretty amazing to hear.

    Yeah from what I read the biggest issue (besides not nearly enough lines, but like the first comment said can’t build that much in 4 years, but hey let’s try…), is frequency and dependability on the rail.

    They need to prove that their rail system is frequent enough and has the capacity to carry olympic crowds. That’s what I want to see, Metrolink and their subways running every 5-10 minutes, proving they can get people moving
