Being from the New York area, I can say that although New York is very congested it has the only public transportation system that is open 24 hours a day in the world. It has an extremely large public transportation system that can handle the large influx of ppl to the olympics.

M - Not anymore. The Olympics is all about izzat ka sawal hai for all nations irrespective of past traditions.

M - Why the skepticism? If Greeks could make everything work at the last minute, Americans are much better.

M - I suggest you should take a look at their Bid Book. They have done an admirable job and the space planning looks decent. Ash - NYC can be only superficially compared to Bombay. Bombay certainly can't handle the load; basically because of its geography and already strained commuter services.

NYC - the world’s second home …

Hmm, having never been there, I have the vague idea that NY is a super glam congested metro like Bby (lot of people have made that comparision). And frankly, I cant imagine anything remotely like the Olympics being held in a city like Bby.
But of course, the way thing work here is way different from back home, and Im sure they’ll do their best to make it work. It sure will be interesting to see the results though !

they want to change their name to “your second home” or something like that……….it doesnt change the fact that they dont have the infrastructure- facilities- or most important- space to make it a pleasant experience.
