Some 700 vehicles will be used to shuttle athletes and officials around the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) venues. "Measures will include the management of the buses using the Global Positioning System and the management of the traffic on the roads with our Command Centre at the Intelligent Transport Systems Centre" said LTC Lau Hui Boon, chairman of Bus Operations, at YOG Organising Committee. The routes are closely monitored with contingency plans to fix potential traffic problems. Two transport malls have been set up for the event, one at the Youth Olympic Village at Nanyang Technological University and other at the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. They serve as pickup points from where game audiences will travel to the another venues. In addition, the bus shuttle services will provided from some of MRT stations for spectators to watching the games. They will departed from the Kallang, Admirality, Tampines and Bedok stations.
In my opinion, Singapore is ready to be a host for YOG because they have a good plan to manage if they got a problem. In the other hand, if local people are not cooperate with the organizers, this event will unsuccessful.
