1. A computing system, comprising:

  • a processor; and

    memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the computing system to;

    access metadata corresponding to an organization location identified as a people traffic source, the metadata representing a number of workers at the organization location and working hours of the organization location;

    based on the metadata, generate a people traffic value corresponding to people traffic from the people traffic source;

    generate a congestion indicator indicative of people traffic congestion on a mass transit system at a plurality of different mass transit stops based on the people traffic value;

    obtain a user location of a user and a destination location for the user;

    obtain a first mass transit route having a first origination mass transit stop and a destination mass transit stop that corresponds to the destination location;

    based on the congestion indicators, the user location, and the destination location, identify a second mass transit route that is different than the first mass transit route and includes an alternative origination mass transit stop for the user; and

    determine a commute time impact on a commute time for the user to the destination location based on the user relocating from the user location to the alternative origination mass transit stop to use the second mass transit route; and

    generate a control signal to control rendering, to the user, of an indication of;

    the alternative origination mass transit stop, anda commute time impact metric indicative of the commute time impact.
