Why are golf carts appearing at U.S. Congress?
It may look like U.S. Congress is opening up a golf course, but the fleet of golf carts set to appear on Capitol has little to do with recreation and more to do with security.
According to an article in Travel Weekly, new security regulations restrict tour buses from dropping off visitors on Capitol Hill. The measure, which Capitol Police say is a “precautionary move” rather than a response to a known threat, may make the distance from the bus drop-off location to the Hill a little too far for some people. The article reports that a fleet of golf carts will be brought in to transport people who may not be able to walk.
Should travellers be worried? Not according to the article: Capitol Police say the restrictions are a “precautionary move” rather than a response to a known threat.
