be your option they canarry 60,000 people an hour. thursday morning will be the rush hour of all rush hours. >> i think either way it is going to be possibly historic. >> reporter: penndot regional command these monitors will reveal in real time the trouble spots, hiccups and traffic nightmares. >> anytime it happens, it comes out of here first, people will be alerted to the minute. >> reporter: all interstates will be opened but head up broad street exit will be closed off of i-95. twenty-second and broad street exit off 676 will also be a no go. we should add pking lots in the stadiums will be unavailable. >> we are trying to help people to get there. >> reporter: september general will increase serviceshat but listen up even with the system running efficiently and at full capacity, with his figures of 2.4 million people expect for the parade, the transit system can only carry 550,000 riders.
