to be clear, i don’t think it’s necessarily a problem for everyone in the city, i guess i was exaggerating. but for the people who live right next to a stadium thoroughfare, or right outside a venue, i imagine it can be denilitating. any idea if that was the case in 2012, one way or the other?
Well I worked near one of the venues and I got to work and home every day on time. Maybe it’s rose-tinted glasses as it was 14 years ago, I remember plenty of other complaints about the organisation of the games, we like to complain in this country, but I don’t remember hearing of any transport problems. London is not a car-centric city like LA which makes this a relevant point for this community.
