This includes airports, train lines, and general transportation from hotels to events, etc

The Olympic transport project is " the most complex transport operation, allowing for 1.5 to 2 million additional daily trips in the host city." That's a lot of extra trips.

According to the IOC Host City contract , all persons holding an accredited Olympic Pass must have free access to public transport. Transport between the host city and other host cities throughout the country must be available. The host city must “make available specialized cars and/or motorcycles for the OCOG sports team, IFs, OBS crews and photographers participating in road cycling, marathon and race walking,” and all transport costs for ITOs and NTOs must be paid.

There have been several setbacks and mishaps with transport plans in the past.

Beijing seems to have hit the mark. More than $20 billion has been invested in urban transport for the 2008 Olympics:

This included:

The addition of a third runway at Beijing Capital Airport twitter database tripling its potential capacity for inbound and outbound passengers.
Improvements to city roads and the addition of two highways to the capital's airport have reduced congestion during and after the games.
Creation of five new railway lines, including a line leading to the airport.
Expanding the bus system to 20,000 vehicles that are environmentally friendly and clean

Not only did Beijing implement some strategic transportation plans, these additional public systems resulted in a 55% reduction in traffic during the games. It also resulted in a significant reduction in air pollution, temporarily …

With the need to significantly increase the production of vehicles, these bodies need somewhere to sleep.

This leads us to the fact that all these visitors have to cover the roof.

Living conditions
According to the contract with our reliable host city, all athletes and acronym type group participants require accommodation for the following period of time:



Requirements for the period of residence ( Source )

The guide places a lot of emphasis on providing reasonably priced rooms. Rio took this to a whole new level and clearly wanted the athletes to get what they paid for (my favorite Rio horror stories are #10 and #12).

The IOC requires each host city to have approximately 41,001 rooms (very specific) for all IOC stakeholders. However, this does not accommodate spectators.

The number of rooms and their star rating for each group of persons participating in the Olympic Games are clearly specified in the IOC contract. The following points are an excerpt of some of the requirements for the Olympic Village:

“Efficient management and supervision of all village activities;
comfortable living in the village, requirements for capacity and service;
effective travel time to competition venues and any other official accommodation;
consistent, controlled access for media and guests; and
high-level service that meets the cultural and dietary needs of athletes »
…Everything Rio failed at.
