There were a series of troubles such as the bus arriving late over the transportation of athletes and related parties of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and the Games Organizing Committee held a press conference on the 31st. Showed the recognition that there is.
At the Tokyo Olympics, a total of about 5,500 buses and passenger cars are used to transport athletes and related parties, but problems such as delayed arrivals and non-dispatched vehicles have become a problem.
At the press conference on the 31st, the Organizing Committee acknowledged that the cause of the trouble was that the athlete's practice schedule was not decided until that day and that the staff could not accurately grasp the destination.
In addition, because we recruited drivers from all over the country, there were cases where we were not accustomed to the roads in Tokyo or were not accustomed to operating the dedicated app that guides us to our destination.
In addition to increasing the number of buses and drivers, the Organizing Committee has decided to confirm the training schedule of athletes by the evening of the previous day, and is making improvements such as dispatching buses.
Mr. Masayuki Kanda, Director of the Organizing Committee, said, "It is true that there were various issues at the beginning, but now the transportation is extremely smooth."
