The organisers are hoping that 100% of spectators will get to the games by the various methods of public transport, cycling or by foot.
With around 8 million tickets being sold, the transport will need to be up to scratch. The transport plans for the Games will help transform the Lower Lea Valley into one of the best connected areas in the capital which will go far beyond the olympic period. Much of the work is expected to be finished before 2012. Train lines and stations will be updated and some new stops added. Also the capacity on some lines will increase by 50 per cent. Another £4bn of improvements are also underway across the Tube network.
The famous frequency problems with the buses is expected to improve and a network of cycle lanes and walking routes will be developed, connecting the Park and other venues into the wider London networks.
