March 6, 2013

The Tokyo 2020 bid organisers presented their transportation systems to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Evaluation Commission on Wednesday, cialis and are confident the city is sufficiently prepared to host the Games in 2020.

Tokyo has over 13 million residence and complex road systems, medic but the Director of the Japan Transportation Planning Association told the IOC they are ready.

Dr. Takayuki Kishii said: “Tokyo has a sufficient capacity to guarantee safe and stable operations, vialis 40mg ” Kishii reported.

“In Tokyo already today the major core transportation systems plans exist, they are already in place.  All we need to do is implement those plans.

“We already have a plan for a ring road – it is not for the Olympics, it is a long-term Tokyo plan.”

Despite this, there are still challenges to overcome. The Tokyo Bay Zone which is likely to hold the Olympic Village, Press and Broadcast Centres has small masses of land connected by bridges and therefore provides a big challenge to the organising committee.

Tokyo is also heavily reliant on buses, with Kishii admitting ‘there is no railway.’
