Commuters unable to reach destinations during extreme heat events due to transit system failures
During heat waves, public transportation systems (trains and buses) shut down or cancel service, leaving commuters stranded with no viable way to reach work, appointments, or essential services. Current solutions fail because infrastructure wasn't designed for increasingly frequent extreme temperatures, and there's no reliable backup system or real-time alternative routing for affected passengers.
