Rio de Janeiro asks companies to close during Olympics to ease traffic chaos

`I should call a meeting by March with judicial officials and big companies such as Petrobras, the BNDES and other big employers in Rio so we can have a holiday period during the Olympics´, Paes said on Tuesday.
“I don’t want people to leave the city, we want them to stay, but it is clear that mobility will be affected during the Olympics.”
