I thought the athletes and Olympic officials were using a special ferry
to Holmbush Bay?

If you want crowds try the subway at New York. If you want
cancellations, crowded platforms try LUL on a bad day.

I should imagine every rail system has bad days and whilst this is not
to be condoned to blow up into a shock, horror situation is a little
OTT.

Of course CityRail, LUL and New York etc should try and lessen these
problems but it won't be done overnight and in any case is usually a
result of underinvestment.
