Peter Hendy, London's Transport Commissioner has suggested people should ‘go for a beer’ to help space out their journeys at peak times during the Olympics.
There is information available online of the 30 busiest stations and where ‘in theory’ people could be waiting for half an hour, he pointed out. ‘With a bit of forethought and care about when you use the transport system at a very busy time it will all work out alright. ‘I have never seen anyone in a Tube station for half an hour - go for a beer.' 'We are on track but still have an awful lot to do. We have got to get the athletes to the Games but we also have to keep the city moving.’ said Mr Hendy.
The campaign also suggests other options for people, such as working at different times or locations, teleconferencing rather than travelling to meetings, or alternative modes of transport including walking and cycling where practical.
