Transport

 

The Olympic Games will create the biggest demand for transport ever experienced in Australia. A range of initiatives will provide significant environmental

benefits.

Sydney 2000 will be the public transport Games, with private parking banned at Olympic venues and spectators receiving free travel on trains and Olympic buses. Spectators driving from regional areas outside Sydney will be encouraged to leave

their cars at free park and ride sites and to join the Olympic transport system. With Olympic tickets also able to be used as transport passes, the huge number of paper transport tickets needed for travel will not have to be printed.

Bicycle storage areas will be provided for all venues and walking routes will operate to Sydney Olympic Park and other venues. Buses in the Olympic Village will be powered by natural gas so they don’t need petrol. This makes them good for the environment.
