La planification, la mise en route et la supervision des services de<br />
transport, ainsi que l'entretien des véhicules, étaient placés sous la<br />
responsabilité de l'Administration des Transports, dépendant du Comité<br />
organisateur. Un système de communications par radio permettait de<br />
contrôler la circulation tandis que des horaires avaient été établis pour<br />
les services publics. Au cours du mois d'octobre, les personnes emplo-<br />
yées par cet organisme ont atteint un total maximum de deux mille<br />
quatre cent cinquante.<br />
Afin d'assurer un service postal approprié, quatre bureaux de poste<br />
provisoires et neuf cent cinquante boîtes aux lettres ont été installés<br />
dans tous les emplacements stratégiques de la capitale. Cette organisa-<br />
tion qui a fonctionné sans interruption du 1er septembre au 7 novembre<br />
a employé soixante-quatre personnes, manipulé neuf cent quarante mille<br />
pièces de courrier et vendu des timbres pour une valeur de 1 million<br />
huit cent mille pesos. D'autre part, des unités mobiles opérant sur tous<br />
les sites de compétition ont assuré le service postal et vendu huit<br />
cent cinquante mille pesos de timbres et planches commémoratives<br />
des Jeux de la XIX Olympiade.<br />
The organization, operation and control of transportation services and<br />
the maintenance of vehicles came under the jurisdiction of the Or-<br />
ganizing Committee's centralized Transportation Administration. A radio<br />
communications network was established to control the circulation of<br />
traffic, and schedules were arranged for public service. Participants at<br />
secondary sites such as Acapulco received similar service, as well as<br />
transportation to and from the host city to attend the opening and closing<br />
ceremonies. Personnel employed by the Transportation Administration<br />
reached a maximum of 2,450 during the month of October, 1968.<br />
To assure adequate postal service, four temporary post offices and 950<br />
mailboxes were installed in areas where participants and visitors were<br />
concentrated. The post-office service was offered from September 1<br />
until November 7 and employed sixty-four persons. During this period<br />
these offices handled 940,000 pieces of correspondence and sold 1.8<br />
million pesos' worth of stamps. In addition, special mobile postal units<br />
circulated at all the competition sites in order to expedite postal service.<br />
These units sold 850,000 pesos' worth of the stamps issued to com-<br />
memorate the <strong>Games</strong> of the XIX Olympiad.<br />
