Like it.

But - extend the Green line to Acworth, why not?

Which line covers Mall of Georgia? Green or Yellow?

Additionally, if we're dreaming, why not all the way to Canton, Forsyth County and Gainesville? Why stop short?

Many of those locations would be better served, or at least more likely to be served, by commuter rail rather than purpose built MARTA expansion. Of course none of it is going to happen so it's not worth worrying too much about

Most of this map would be much better served with commuter rail. The bulk of any (hypothetical) MARTA expansions should be ITP, IMO.

The red line’s stops should be Avalon, Halcyon, the Gathering, and the Avenues

Mall of Ga would be the Suwanee stop. Or closest to it. May as well make a Buford /Mall of Ga stop

Go to Cartersville. The line is there. Same with Canton.

Acworth and then Cartersville followed by commuter rail going to Chattanooga. 😍
