Overview
LA is notorious for its traffic volume and public transport is one way to mitigate the issue. However, the lack of adequate city planning means that citizens often face the "First Mile / Last Mile Problem" when trying to access the public transit - it is often difficult to reach/exit the public transport system without first driving to/from the transportation system because LA is not as dense as a city say NYC. The LA Metro system have tried utilizing a variety of bus, lightrail, and bike system to help mitigate the problem but I believe there is more targeted work to be done. As data scientists, we can utilize some of the 311 request and public data available to identify regions to set up LA Metro Bike Share for relatively dense areas and Bus Stops for relatively sparse areas.
