- The 2028 Olympics will be held in Los Angeles and officials say they’re hoping to limit traffic. The committee is aiming for the country’s most climate-conscious games and will make pre-existing Olympic venues only accessible by public transportation. The city will also ask people to work from home. NBC News’ Steve Patterson reports on how organizers plan to make it happen.

#losangeles #LA #Olympics
Did they really ask us to keep the roads clear by working from home? Tell that our boss lol
It would had been more effective if the mass transit are up to spec.
bunch of fuckmuppets still think it's Prime pandemic time apparently
@@dbclass4075Many venues will be accessible via the LA Metro. That's the most important part for the Olympics.
Will be much h easier to work from home due to the infrastructure installed during Covid to more efficiently allow employees to work from home for a few weeks.
I work in a restaurant kitchen.. good luck with that one 😂
Setting up LA, as more walk-able, would be a gift to keep on giving better air and healthier people.
Less traffic, homeless and crime would be an impossible gift but I guess one can believe...
Four years isn't enough time to make LA walkable.
That should be the goal for all major cities really
I'm guessing you've never lived in LA. It would take you about three hours to walk from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica. It's BIG.
Good luck with dealing with criminals and homeless
Being honest, I don't think about the Hollywood sign. I think about the traffic and the amount of homeless drug addicts on the street.
There are about to be eviction notices for them. Mass migration coming to a neighborhood near you.
Did an executive order to clean up homeless off the streets idk how that’s going to go though
@@nathanizzoSome of the unhoused are suing cities so that the clean ups won’t happen.
They find a way to hide them like Sam Francisco did or figure out something else.Winter is coming maybe they’ll mysteriously pass away in their tents.
How they paying for the legal fees@@IAMHERE486
Kind of wish they'd get a homeless problem roll out plan.
Fr
Wishful thinking.
Sports come before humanity in this country.
@@Black____ Not just America,, all countries that host the Olympics. Brazil literally uprooted an entire community by force to build their Olympic facilities,, not to mention they spent money on hiding impoverished areas rather than improving them.
They already said that they basically plan to just kick everyone out of the city while the Olympics happens, so basically the same thing that Paris just did for this Olympics they moved the homeless elsewhere for the duration of the games
@@Black____ Many people (especially wannabe musicians) willingly come to LA to make it in Hollywood, only for them to end up poor after chasing that dream for so long. Honestly, being poor is on them for a lot of folks. Sports should come before them.
Well it all starts for the top. I'd like to see the board members be the first ones to start using public transport......
Rules for thee & not for me. - You know they'll never do that.
YES
I use it regularly and it's fine. It's improved significantly over the last year.
You wish. 😂😂
You know they will use it for a day for the cameras and news😂
They need to solve the homeless and crime issue in LA first.
Skid row is 3 blocks long and crime is at an all time low.
More non California opinions from trumpets.
Have u visit LA???😂 Do y know how big is LA😂
@@KingdomOfZealeasy to make the crime stat low when no1 reports it knowing the DAs will do nothing anyways
@@shiraishi1
Well! Los Angeles itself is so big that it has 5 major government centers: Van Nuys, Westwood, San Pedro, Mid-Wilshire, and Downtown/Plaza Olvera.
@@KingdomOfZeal EXACTLY
im actually kinda excited cus LA will be forced to clean up the homeless problem for at least a year loll
true lol
Which they've already started
Sounds like hypocrite, shame on them.
a year? try 14 days. haha
They probably will just move them to the I.E.. They also need to do something about the crime because they can't blame it all on homeless but underage teens, flash mobs, organize crime, etc.
It is very hard. Modern US was not made for public transportation. It was built around roads for cars by the help of huge lobbying from the american car companies. USA is so car centric that it is nearly impossible to change people's mind to believe that public transport is the superior mode of transport because in USA it is deliberately kept inferior than cars.
i keep tellin ppl this. LA had one of the best public transportation systems and the car lobbyists, i think especially Ford or someone, made sure cars were dominant.
If the metro wasn't full of homeless tweakers it wouldn't be that bad
The lobbying is also one reason we don't have cross-country high speed rail.
Having the freedom to go wherever you want whenever you want will always win over government appointed transportation. Good luck getting the bus to take you out of town when a disaster strikes.
@@TheSarahJane33 A city without efficient public transportation looks underdeveloped, especially for an event like the Olympics, where people who are not from Los Angeles will come and would not have to have a car.
The traffic in LA 😂😂😂
Nah. /
We will host the first homeless olympics.
Whoever setup a tent on a street with the fastest time gets a gold medal.
Ah yes. Because homelessness only exists in LA.
Who pops the most pills 💊 get a gold medal. LA’s pals would sweep all the medals
@@HAL-bo5lr exactly...
We can have homeless themed games 😂
The World Cup will be great test run. 5 matches might not be much, but it will be nice to see how the metropolitan area handles it.
I don't know about that since LA is not the only city that host matches. Olympics its pretty much 2 straight weeks of hosting everything.
The World Cup is the peak; it's a test run to nobody. I doubt the Olympics will survive beyond 2028. I sometimes forget that it is happening at all this year.
Can LA hold a match? I thought there was a size limit and the stadiums in LA don't fit that requirement. So other cities in the US will be able to host a match but not LA since it wouldn't meet FIFAs requirements unless they decided to many an exception
@@skyleafgreen7997 yeah right lol
@@PC-tanThere are no issues anymore. LA was awarded 8 matches including a semifinal.
they gonna need to make this public transport safer if its gonna be usable
It's much safer now than it was over a year ago. There will be even more security officers during the Olympics.
@@mrxman581key phrase "during the olympics", that's not a solution for any other time for LA residents. Where's all that tax payer money going to? It's a joke
@@johnsoapmactavish9921Roads. It goes into f*ckin' roads.looooots of them. Many, many times more road per capita than in Paris.
Better fare gates and tap-in/tap-out
As a native, I'd love to see LA have a huge public transit boom, but we need to do something about the drugged-out street zombies first... No matter how much they expand the metro, no one is going to use it if they don't feel safe.
Borrowing 3000 buses for a few weeks won’t fix transportation.
Makes me kinda glad that Chicago lost to Rio for the 2016 bid.
Too bad your city lost tons of money over it
@@KingdomOfZeal "LOST" LOLOLOLOL the olympics are a financial burden
Yeah, and they really haven't done much to improve their transit in more than a century, at least a major event provides incentive for improvement and could set a model.
@@DavMovis_ That and Chicago isn’t really a place you could actually “move around” within as theirs not much space to build new arenas in. They would just have to renovate soldier field or the united center. I forgot which city it was but after the Olympics, a lot of their venues and arenas were basically empty since then and also falling apart.
@@manderzz it can be... but it wasn't for LA in 84, everything was profit, which is what they're attempting again...
I was 14 in 1984 and we drove to a few different events. Traffic was normal including parking, lines were fast and this was a decade before the Metro
Population was 3 million in the Los Angeles metro area in 1984. It's now 12.6 million. So, it might not be the same this time.
@@skatetoexplorevideos2477Not true. The population of LA was 3 million in 1984 and it's about 3.8 million today. And we now have 110 miles of metro track and 101 stations. It will be even bigger by 2028.
@@mrxman581 Yeah, Google's AI Overview gave me a wrong answer. That seemed way too high.
I was 21 in 1984. I remember that a lot of work places had either earlier hours or less days at work. So, you either went in a lot earlier to accommodate the Olympics or your boss let you work 4 days a week. I remember the pride that we all had. Figueroa Street in downtown LA was a 2 way regular street. They converted it to one way during the 2 weeks of the Olympics. It worked so well that they decided to keep it just one way permanently. I sincerely hope that they consult the traffic plans that were used back then and modify them for today’s needs.
@@skatetoexplorevideos2477 Google and Bing are just gaslighting software programs at this point... Just google everything the OG way. That's the only way you'll get a correct answer to this day...
I’m so excited to see it in person. The last Olympics I went to was in London and I loved it
Los Angeles is not Paris. Paris is a city made for walking, most of it packed into a dense constricted area. Los Angeles is a city spread out so far you can only get anywhere by car or mass transit. You cannot really make it "car free".
Why dont they invest more into the local rail system
Car companies lobbying.
They're doing it now, but decades too late lol
L.A. do. The city has a light rail transit system in Crenshaw Blvd.
In all honestly, I wish them luck with being encouraged to get it rolling. It might be a beautiful city once again.
This is going to be a disaster
Sure thing bot
@@erikad0511Are you too lazy to check out my channel? Don’t be! Love you.
“Simon Biles wins Gold” is a great headline. “Simon Biles attacked and robbed by homeless drug addict during Olympics” is not. Imagine if they put this much effort into figuring out what to do with all the homeless people…
It takes the Olympics for LA to finally do something about rampant crime and homelessness.
And it will be back to it after the games are over 😂
LA has had a lower crime rate than most large cities for decades despite false narratives and it's been tackling homelessness
I’ve just been to Paris. I could go to multiple events in a day via their incredible public transport system. LA’s lack of a network like that is not making the games very appealing to me
I couldn’t believe that lady said that she would leave town then take public transport…public transport makes things so easy I don’t understand
They've ran the Olympics before, they know what needs to happen ... So just Don't go, don't watch....
@@learningvideosbynikhil8308not easy in LA. I’ve tried it and I will never do it again.
@@learningvideosbynikhil8308 Then you're obviously not from LA.
@@learningvideosbynikhil8308public transport in LA and in many areas of the U.S. can be perceived as dangerous and is mostly only used by homeless people
Well expand more Amtrak/Metrolink train service or bus service throughout LA area and make sure it’s safe and reliable if you want freeways to be less congested
"By working from home."
Well you heard him boys. We simply had to choose to work from home.
Lots (if not most) of people were very skeptical in France about the organization of the Olympics in Paris. And at the end it was great ! I believe L.A will do brillantly
Watch the homeless magically disappear.. interesting
Haaa… -__- they’re slowly migrant to the east side
It’s fkn ridiculous
The Bums will disappear by 2028 then it comes back by 2030.
If only they put this much effort to get rid of homeless
They are now… cause its an election year
@jonnyfendi2003 speak for yourself 🙄 🖕
Work from home?
You think everyone has that luxury?
It doesn't have to be everyone. If only 50% worked from home, it would be a game changer. Remember, during the worst of Covid? Very little traffic.
@@mrxman581I didn't get to see that during covid 😂
@@mrxman581 u sound crazy
I’m just looking forward to the city clean up they do.
Good luck, LA folks!
Cleaning up their landfill site will be difficult.
Did they really compare the ERAs tour to the Olympics??! 😂😂😂😂
No
That was the test run lol. Next up the World Cup. Olympics will be boss stage... RIP
LA definitely has the potential to pull this off. Metro has been expanding all over town and connecting new lines together. There are lots and lots of busses, most of the city is walkable. People just need to feel more comfortable using it, they're afraid.
yeah, lines are connected, but they're ALWAYS late. It takes an hour to get from DTLA to the Westside by bus. HARD PASS.
Whenever I visit LA, bring a New Yorker who takes the train, I am more impressed how it’s getting better than New York and how accessible it is now.
Speak for yourself 🙄 🖕
@@denniszenanywhere It's a lot better than people realize! Lots of work to do but we've got a strong foundation to create a transit that truly connects the whole city together. Once we do that, traffic lessens which helps all over.
I live in Burbank and in the past 2-3 months there have been at least 10 fatal incidents on Metro buses. Now they’re expecting people to solely rely on using them for travel?
Maybe I can cycle in and around LA instead of standing in a traffic jam!
Best regards from The Netherlands. 🇳🇱
God bless you LA, wishing you all the very best in the preparation for the games of the 34th Olympiad of the Modern Era!
Make Busses Safe Again!
1:49 Catching a bus is like a rare selfie-worthy moment, beautiful
Ironic isn’t it? Californians say they’re all about sustainability, reducing emissions, etc. but the moment you ask an average Los Angeles resident to take public transportation, “OMG NO FRIGGIN WAY!” 😂
I like the idea, but why didn't you build high speed rail years ago?
Visited LA this year and I don’t see this happening, and if it does I feel sorry for the tax payers of California
Did you know they pulled off the Olympics before, without using taxpayers money and everything was profit.... I think they might know what to do
Honestly, I've taken the metro and the bus more lately, and it's changed a lot since just couple years ago. It's been cleaner and safer than expected, which kinda surprised me, but I'm excited for them to keep improving.
The LAX Airport is one of the worst ever for cars, buses at the arrivals/departures. It’s a literal clusterfk every single day. Imagine adding 1 million more people !!! This is gonna be bad. Really bad.
Yea, I'll consider public transportation if it's clean and maintained like how it's done in Japan, manners included.
I rode the same buses in 1:41 as a new immigrant in 1993! By the time I enlisted in the Air Force in 1998, and could finally buy a car, those were still the same buses. I had no idea they were from '84.
This is laughable public transport through buses. Definitely the US is way behind other countries when it comes to building massive public transport option such as trains, subways, rails etc.
Los Angeles has always been a car city, despite that, the metro system is great(logistically, not safety wise), a lot of people in Los Angeles are too arrogant to take the bus, they feel that it’s beneath them. I know this because people would rather pay 500-1000 a month on a car they don’t need, than pay $1 for the bus. People from other countries most likely will have no problem taking public transit, the goal should be safety on the transit systems, both buses & trains.
With the LA’s heavy traffic, I am sure they don’t have another option other than to stop cars and allow more efficient flow of traffic using buses or metros. They can’t build metros so fast, so buses are the only remaining practical option. May compromise on safety but getting to the venue is more important than being stuck in traffic.
OK but when you do the equestrian events in Temecula... how you getting there?
LA once had the greatest public transit network the world had ever seen. The massive rapid transit system of streetcars and interurbans known as the Pacific Electric Railway, aka the Red Cars! Bring back the Pacific Electric Railway! Or at least get LA Metro and Metrolink to get their act together and massively expand service and frequencies!
There weren't as many transplants and illegals back then
That's been happening for years including the reuse of old Red Car ROWs.
I wish my town was walkable, it usually comes down to distance and safety
😂😂 car free , she even can't fix crimes rates
High crime is all over the world even in Europe we have high crime
Crime was higher in the 80s under your reagan and even under trump
@@Loveabounds. They're just all the trump bots, saying the same things... they love complaining about LA
it's not about the transportation... it's about the crazies that take the transportation. do something about that first
When will it be in New York City?
No trams, no metro, no walkable places. You guys have ONLY 4 years to do that magic? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
“No metro, no walkable places.” Actually, they have LA Metro. And there’s a lot of walkable neighborhoods throughout the 502 square miles of the City of Los Angeles.
@@RuelRules uhhh by no metro I mean it's way too small for a city this size, and LA isn't walkable at all, if you ever been to Europe you know what I mean by that
@@hakohito So by "no metro," you actually meant there is a metro. Got it! And when you say LA isn't walkable at all, did you visit and explore a lot of neighborhoods? Because I've been to Europe-- there are walkable neighborhoods and there are very un-walkable neighborhoods in the cities I visited. Same as LA. 🙂
@@RuelRules ok dude have fun with your city 🫶
@@hakohito I will, dude, thanks! Have fun trolling other people's cities. 🤪
We're lucky the world will still be here in 2028 the way things are going.
I guess low speed highway chases won’t be on the event list that year.
Nope they take far to long to declare a winner , there is Hope however seems the Snatch and Grab event and my personal favorites Car Jacking and Drive By marksmanship are Top of the Events Ticket
Los Angeles 2028 will be a star studded Olympics ever and I’ll be there in person. proudly wear the Olympic collection gear and get ready. When the games at the movie.
And no homeless folks in site.
L.A county conducted a 'large homeless encampment cleanup' on Venice Beach.. including forcing or towing cars away.. I now see more people living in cars on a side street near me and more crazies wandering on the street and a major intersection... job well done Karen Bass and city planners.. 👏 👏👏 I live 13 Minutes N.E of DTLA
Nah. Not it’s not possible and more. /
To naysayers, I've been commuting from Long Beach to DTLA for the last 30 years. I am also able to take the Express Lanes with an electric carpool stickers if not taking the train.
Do you still see people smoking stuff or homeless people sleeping on the trains? That is the part I cannot get past on the blue line. I used to take it to go to the art walk but haven't since covid because it got scary...
🤔 Is Snoop Dog in charge of the LA Olympics ?
0:50 Imagine traveling 85 miles on a bus.....in LA......
Paris is 40 square miles and it was a fiasco shutting off traffic in areas of the city. LA is 500 square miles.
Great Article. Very honest. Agreed.
The Homeless will be bused to other state/states 2 months before the 2028 games hands up who the lucky states will be
Some cities in America will accept homeless folks from L.A..forget it. ' Not in my town.'
This is good idea but they better clean up the smell in the metro station
I live in la and been watching the Olympics while it’s summer + now excited for to come to la 2028 or 2032!!
Ten years ago I cycled down the West Coast from Seattle to L.A.
Marina del Rey to Union Station (19 miles) wasn't that bad,
wish I wasn't in a hurry (to catch the Amtrak to Dallas that night) and could've roamed around a bit.
Cheers from Germany@EU
She said she would rather leave the city if she had to take public transportation. What a hypocritical way to make fun of herself.
Only if they keep on building more subways like Shanghai with each station entrance every 500m, people will start using public transportation. Buses are just not convenient enough because they still have to deal with stop and go traffic.
If only there was this much dedication to the homeless crisis and environmental state of LA
Sounds like a DISASTER 🤨😠 people are NOT gonna take kindly to the mayor or ANYONE telling them not to drive when they want to…
Especially if you live in the other 87 cities and unincorporated areas in LA county. The mayor of LA doesn’t dictate what the other cities do.
@@ecebear3 right!!! 🙂
Public transit in LA is so dangerous because of the homeless and mentally unstable. When would LA even want to host the Olympics? Do we need more people to move here?
The things that come to mind are traffic, Skidrow and Figueroa tbh
Maybe only let the staff, athletes and their families be allowed to drive. Personal and rental. Taxi drivers could count as public transport.
That sounds like a LOT of cars... Really should have all the athletes and as many people on shuttles that loop all day long. They are not used to driving so far in our city. That will be a mess.
GRAND THEFT AUTO 5 will host olympic games inside the videogame😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, let them use public transportation.
Goodluck to visitors especially if you’re going near downtown 😂
@@BurritoRoll 🤣
stronger convictions, heavier punishment on crimes, and helping homeless off the streets will be needed before I step on any public transit.
I avoid the downtown area like the plague anyway. No difference for me. However, for my job, it will be the best 2 weeks ever at work if everyone took public transportation 😅
Show up and sit for 8 hrs and do nothing is a dream 😂
No thanks 😂
Stretch, huge stretch
It is going to be a nightmare.
Then don't go, don't watch 😊
The marketing in California for the Olympics is going to be unrelenting for the next 4 years. Prices going way up
I think if we want some cars off the road, the car may need to ride on a train; for it could save trips to the pumps, save money, and you can drive on the train and drive off at the destination that is nearby to drive.
i like how the ERAs tour was a trial run haha
It was a good test to see how having 70,000 people a day attend a concert for several days. They increased frequencies and train car lengths on both the E and K lines. However, it was more comparable to hosting the 8 games of the World Cup.
Paris did it, LA will do it ❤🎉❤
Paris ❤ Los Angeles. Vous allez y arriver. J'ai aucun doute. On a aussi douté mais au final c'était génial.😁
taking public transportations at LA? you are kidding
The fact they are even suggesting that we work from home to accommodate this ridiculous utopian idea shows how out of touch they are, and how little they respect the citizens of the L.A. This is not 1984, when the city was governed by far more competent and serious people. It will be another unrealistic policy embarrassment, but this time on the international stage. Also, judging by how the city treated the pandemic, they won't be asking, but telling.
Good luck to LA for actually implementing this. Of all the things they are attempting to do this is going to be harder than ever to pull off.
LA got no chance to reach Paris levels of being both locals and tourists friendly
I can't wait to visit
What about Skidrow
It will be long gone.
Well, if you want public transport, gotta make a deal with general motors not to buy them back this time...
LA HoSteD ThEe ErAs ToUR .....the Olympics is 2 weeks not 5 nights
Good luck 👍
If Americans don't know how to get around town with public transit, walking and maybe cycling,
just ask the foreign tourists for help 🤣
comparing a Taylor swift concert to the olympics
They didn't
Lol they didnt. they said it simply showed that them people were willing to get around using mass transit.
you guys really sure you wanna show off your public transportations in front of the asians ?
They're not trying to show off, they're trying to make it work efficiently for the Olympics
