"The no car Games means that you will have to take public transportation to get to all of the venues," Bass said at a press conference in Paris.Bass said the city will utilize 3,000 buses loaned to it from around the country to ease traffic congestion. The U.S. government last month pledged $900 million to help improve the city's rail and bus systems in anticipation of the Games.
