The Metro Gold Line ran more rail cars to accommodate increased ridership (which there was), and buses could move quickly down the highway through downtown since cars were avoiding the road because of street closures and anticipated mayhem. Transit riders could move around town so quickly! I fancy such a dream situation might occur if congestion pricing were introduced :) what a nice experiment yesterday was!
