Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is gearing up for the 2028 Olympics, aiming to improve public transportation and address street homelessness. The city will collaborate with other cities to borrow buses and build new housing units for the unhoused population. Discussions are also underway to shift work schedules and truck deliveries to ease traffic congestion.
