We’ll see. Having recently gone to Chicago and enjoyed their transportation system, I wish Atlanta could improve theirs.

actually sonny is a lot less to blame for this than you might think. he never got a bill to sign.

the real fault lies with georgia’s worst politician ever, house speaker glenn richardson and his laughable lieutenant jerry keen.

it reminds me of my favorite rant ever – http://atlanta.metblogs.com/2009/04/10/paging-jerry-keen/

Thank you Sonny and gang. I barely holding back a rant of historic proportions here, so I’ll just stop and say this sucks.

i hear ya’ and i can’t blame ya.

i hate driving so it’s a bonus for me.

one thing for sure, marta could do more to address quality of experience on the trains by enforcing headphone volume, littering etc.

I really want Marta to survive. Sadly, I think some really tough days are ahead however.

I *could* ride the train to work each day, but my morning commute takes thirty minutes and I find things to keep me entertained in a comfortable (seating and temperature) environment on my hour+ commute home so the idea of spending an hour each way on a Marta train doesn’t really appeal to me much.
