The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, believes that public transport will not be ready for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. It brings the government and the Île-de-France region back to back.
Crowded metros, monster traffic jams in the capital. This is one of the great fears, for several years now, for the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. Many fear a capital saturated by the movement of supporters and delegations. The mayor of Paris admits: transport will not be ready in time. Anne Hidalgo cited in particular the future RER E station, Porte Maillot, which will not be available in time. And the mayor of Paris did not hesitate to send a dig at the government.
15 million spectators expected
Immediate response on social networks from Clément Beaune: the Minister of Transport denounces the non-participation of the mayor of Paris in the various strategic committees on transport in view of the Olympic Games. Same criticism made by the president of the Île-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse. Besides these political tensions, one thing seems certain: the 15 million spectators expected in the capital this summer will have to be patient.
