I was a bit pessimistic about this being possible, but to see that we did this in the 1984 Olympics without any light rail is pretty amazing to hear.

How about they start with no car Tuesdays and work up to an Olympics

I think a no car day would get more push back than the Olympics being no car. The Olympics is a temporary event, No car day would be forever. Not that I would hate it. Another thing too is that there's going to be a lot of resource put into ensuring the Olympics goes smoothly, like additional buses brought in from all over SoCal. I guess the same can be done for a no car day, but again, i feel there needs to be huge political support for it and I don't think there is. Even 1 day a month would be a nice stepping stone. Ciclavia is sort of like that, but its so concentrated that it feels more like a bike festival more so than leaps to changing people's views of transit (though I understand that the point of Ciclavia is to encourage more walking/biking and less cars).
