LIMA - Peru may be enjoying their best ever Pan Am Games on the medal table but the Lima organizing committee is not winning any awards yet as transportation foul-ups and other issues continue to challenge the two-week showcase.
The glow from a spectacular opening ceremony and a dream start that included two marathon golds on the first day of competition have begun to fade as the realities of staging the largest ever sporting event in Peru hit home. “But overall Lima 2019 is very pleased with how the Pan American Games have been delivered and with the running of the competitions.Almost from the moment Lima was awarded the Pan Am Games, organizing transportation in a city notorious for chaotic traffic was identified as a major potential trouble spot.
“We hired over 100 additional drivers, increased the frequency of buses, optimized the transport timetable with the competition schedule, and established a transport help desk,” said Lazarte. “We have seen significant improvements in the service today, but we will continue to monitor and make further changes as needed.
