Just a wild guess that you're not a programmer?

What you suggest would be a huge undertaking that would have to be manually invoked city by city and you can imagine the compexity when an entire region would be affected and then city by city start to open up again.

Meanwhile a real person could change your destination on a case by case basis based on availability.
