Los Angeles wants a ‘no-car’ Olympics in 2028. Is it possible?

Karen Bass, the mayor, pledged to make the Games car-free, but the sprawling city's public transit falls far behind that of previous host cities

Los Angeles is world famous for its gridlocked traffic and endless highways. So when the city's mayor Karen Bass pledged to make the 2028 Olympics a no-car" games, more than a few eyebrows were raised.

As Paris handed over the Olympics flag, Bass touted her vision at a press conference: parking will not be available at many of the venues and sports fans will need to take public transit to reach the sites, which will range from downtown to Inglewood to the beach in Santa Monica.
