The Transportation Reality Check

Real numbers from the last two CVIs:

• Uber/Lyft surge multiplier: 2.4–3.2×
• PSP → Empire Polo Club on game day: $110–$195 one-way
• Round-trip from Palm Springs/La Quinta hotels: $300–$450
• On-site parking: $20–$40 + long walk in the sun

That’s real money and real time wasted.
