The main reason that people tend to go from Rio de Janeiro, is the traffic jams associated with the Olympics.
Before the opening of the summer Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro remained a few hours, and the traffic flow in the city and immediate suburbs crammed wishing how to catch it, or run away from the city, aimlessly…
Unfortunately, not for all people and in all countries this is an exceptional advantage is a joyful incentive to visit the home Olympics and enjoy all the events.
And, according to numerous media reports, if the people of Brazil had the opportunity, many of them would gladly have refused to hold this honorary celebration of sport and friendship.
Why there is such a setting, which indirectly indicates the unacceptable extent of the inadequacy of the work of the Executive bodies, in which the organization of the Olympic Games?
If you haven’t been following world events in that direction and not going to hurt to Rio for your favorite team or athlete, you might not guess that Brazil was the reasons why many Brazilians appreciate here otkroyutsya the Olympics late phenomenon.
Well, if not untimely (after all, such events are being prepared for years and, of course, know in advance that they have time and meditation, and special preparations), then it is an undesirable event, regarded absolutely.
After the Olympics coincided so out of place with the many national failures and troubles…
One impeachment of the President is worth something!
Added to this and chronic fatigue from the numerous corruption scandals that swept the country in recent times.
Painful ballast financial crisis and did not manage to discard, despite rosy promises, and the calculations of economists on the prospects for the expected profit from realization of this Grand sporting event.
Alas, even quite, it would seem, available for study in local media publications and broadcasts, Brazilian TV channels joyful speeches of politicians and economists are unable to overcome the dissatisfaction of citizens.
The media keeps popping up, describing what is happening here and there scandals involving guests and arrived at the hotel the athletes.
But it also suggests that the organization of the games were ill-conceived in terms of safety and amenities for participants and fans of the Olympics.
Traffic jams in the city make residents of Rio to go to the suburbs to have at least some opportunity during the Games to drive to work without problems.
For example, he says one of the residents in an interview:
“My friends and I considered the option to leave town, but all hotels in the inner suburbs crammed to capacity, for many of us decided to do the same,” told the Life of our compatriot Elena Gudimenko, who lives in Rio de Janeiro.
“You have no idea what’s going on here! The day before yesterday I went from Barra to Copacabana: got there more or less and I went back three hours. The promenade was closed and all the traffic is moving now through the favela Rocinha and tunnels… It’s a nightmare!”.
It is hoped that all these organizational troubles will be over soon, and the authorities will do everything possible to ensure that the Olympics passed without serious overlap, justifying the expectations of fans around the world.
And most importantly, she proceeded to ensure all the needs of the security conditions.
Recall that the opening of the Olympic games will be held in the night from Friday to Saturday Moscow time at the stadium “Maracana”.
Presumably fire Games will be entrusted to light Pele.
