The figures are daunting. During the 16 days of the Olympics, over 9 million people will travel to the various Olympic venues. A few of these venues are dispersed around London, and some of them are outside the city — for example, football heats will be taking place as far away as Glasgow and Cardiff.
On each day, however, up to 350,000 people will travel to the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London. Even though these arrivals and departures will be staggered throughout the day, with sporting sessions taking place in the late morning, afternoon and evening, it is still going to be a real challenge to manage the transport needs of the spectators.
