Oly: Carr dismisses Oly transport fears
New South Wales Premier BOB CARR has dismissed International Olympic Committee concerns
about transport problems at the Sydney Games.
Mr CARR says while delays will be inevitable, Sydney will cope with the extreme pressure
very well.
The premier says transport planning for the September event will be as extensive as
it was for the city's New Year's Eve celebrations.
He says Sydney copes well with big events.
IOC coordination commission chairman JACQUES ROGGE yesterday said Sydney could have
a problem if people ignored public transport on offer and tried to use private cars during
the Olympics.
