  • Four months preliminary to the commencement of the games, Valérie Pécresse, the president of the Ile-de-France region, presented the transportation plan for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
  • Certain metro lines are expected to be overloaded, some stations will be closed, and waiting times at certain places will be tripled.
  • Commuting to work or home will be more difficult depending on the day, time, and location.
  • Not all new transport lines that were announced will be operational for the games.
  • Efforts to assist people in anticipating their movements, especially through digital tools, will be paramount.
  • The organisers are aiming to create a sense of collective ownership towards the games, creating a 'People's Games' atmosphere.

Conclusion: Despite the inevitable transport complications, the organizers are diligently working to mitigate issues and maximize a sense of belonging and enthusiasm for the games. It's crucial that Paris 2024 leverages the forthcoming four months to dispel any lingering doubts.
