"It's already unpredictable with LA traffic, but with the Olympics? I can only imagine. One major closure could mess up my whole shift—and I can't really afford to be late when lives are on the line."

"I'd plan around it. Leave earlier, take side streets, maybe even swap shifts. Just having that heads-up would make things way less stressful."

"USC's pretty central and I've heard some events might be hosted around here. I already deal with slow buses and random construction… if the Olympics adds to that, it could throw off my whole schedule."

"If you gave me a heads-up that the Expo Line's gonna be overloaded because of some track meet or whatever, I'd switch it up."

"I already spend way too much time in traffic. With the Games, I expect it'll be even more chaotic—street closures, construction, huge crowds. Could mess with my whole schedule."

"Even just knowing a few days in advance that downtown's gonna be slammed would help me shift things around. If I can avoid a nightmare commute, that saves time and money."

"If there's construction or roadblocks, people won't show up. Same with delivery drivers—if they're delayed, I don't get my inventory on time. It's a chain reaction."

"If I know Wilshire's going to be a disaster next Wednesday, I could close early or staff differently."

"People think of the Games and picture opening ceremonies or world records being broken, but the reality is, none of that works unless the city itself runs smoothly. If we can't move people efficiently—athletes, spectators, staff—it could really affect how the Games are experienced, and remembered."

"If your tool can tell people things like, 'Your normal commute will take 40% longer next Thursday due to an event,' that kind of transparency builds trust. It helps people feel like the Games are working with them, not against them."
