Avast ye! In four short years, the fair city o' Los Angeles be settin' sail for the Summer Olympics thrice! With a crew as vast as the seven seas, the landlubbers be causin' gridlock worse than a ship caught in a storm! Arrr, matey, what a sight!
Ahoy, mateys! In the bustling port of Los Angeles, near 4 million souls be callin’ it home, all wranglin’ with their chariots like scallywags in a tussle. The cursed traffic there be infamous, like a ship stuck in the doldrums!Now, as the grand Paris Olympics be settin’ sail into the sunset, the fair Mayor Karen Bass be concoctin’ a plan to tame the sea of metal beasts that clog the city’s arteries. She be shoutin’ for a “no-car Games!” Aye, she wants folks to hop on public transport and leave their land vessels behind!
To pull this off, Bass be borrowin’ over 3,000 buses from other ports o’ call, for Los Angeles’ own fleet be weaker than a soggy biscuit. She aims to build a greener paradise, savvy? She also be settin’ her sights on the city’s big employers, suggestin’ they stagger their work hours like a crew sharin’ a bottle o’ rum!
While essential workers still need to traverse the seas of traffic, Bass believes that if ye limit the landlubbers, it be makin’ the journey smoother than a mermaid’s song. The grand Games be settin’ sail on July 14, 2028, with events takin’ place from SoFi Stadium to faraway Temecula. Aye, the adventure be just beginnin’, and we be ready to hoist the sails!
