Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Summer Olympics, has pledged to make the event the greenest ever by promoting a "car-free" approach. However, achieving this goal will require significant upgrades to the city's transit system to accommodate the influx of athletes and visitors. The city's public transit system, including rail lines and bus routes, experienced a decline in ridership during the pandemic and has yet to fully rebound. This, coupled with increased road traffic and safety concerns, presents challenges to the vision of a car-free Olympics. Despite these obstacles, Los Angeles leaders are optimistic about the opportunity to showcase the city's infrastructure investments and are implementing a plan, called "28 by '28," to improve the transit system in time for the Games. The plan includes long-planned upgrades and new projects, such as a new rail line and the extension of the subway's Purple Line. While some residents express doubts about the readiness of the transit system for the Olympics, the city is exploring measures beyond transit upgrades to ease congestion, such as altering truck delivery times and encouraging remote work. Additionally, the city plans to borrow over 2,700 buses and designate freeway lanes for buses only during the event. Despite skepticism, some Angelenos are open to using public transit if it becomes more convenient, expressing a desire to avoid the challenges of driving and parking. The city also aims to use the World Cup in 2026 and the Super Bowl in 2027 as opportunities to refine its transportation system ahead of the Olympics.
