Olympic organisers admit transport problems
With less than 300 days to go until the start of the Olympic Games in Athens, transport chiefs in the city have admitted they are worried that work on tram and rail lines is “far behind schedule”.
According to The Independent, experts are already warning that the expected 250,000 visitors could face gridlock – even before the arrival of a team in Athens to inspect progress on transport provisions for next summer’s Games.
The newspaper quotes Athens’ chief organiser Gianna Angelopolous as saying: “We are as worried over this as the International Olympic Committee is. In any case we have to have an alternative that can solve this problem.”
Developments are reportedly months behind the strict schedule laid down by the IOC’s transport experts.
