There will be, and there are already significant benefits, from hosting the Olympics but the trick is going to be to keep up the momentum.SOURCE: The Sun Daily Malaysia

And I just say gently, if London had been completely congested and nobody had been able to move around that would have been very bad for the London economy for quite some time to come..SOURCE: The Sun Daily Malaysia
