Olympic Games executive director Christophe Dubi calls the transport plan for Paris 2024 "extremely solid and extremely thorough", and points out that the pricing policy for public transport during next year's Olympics "was reviewed two years ago, and free travel is no longer an option". Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo recently insisted that the transport system in Paris will not be ready in time for the 2024 Olympic Games in the French capital, while it was revealed that metro tickets will almost double in price.
