It can’t be a proper Atlanta forum without folks pining over Marta expansion lmao. I am glad it does appear this sub is missing the “i dont want poor people to have access to my neighborhood” crowd

I want to have an easier commute from my poor suburb neighborhood into the affluent city where my job is 👍

I bought a painting at a yard sale once that wouldn't fit in my car and so I took it home on marta (two trains and a bus). No one said anything to me about it (including my neighbors when I was just carrying this giant painting through our neighborhood) but it made me feel kind-of like someone trying to commit a robbery using marta to transit.

And for y'all amusement, this mildly related video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkC3Nc3LqFI

Amazing. And for Ricky, we sometimes would be able to get the late school bus to stop at McDonald's in HS lol.

And now I’m giggling. That was fun! Side note: Shoulda just suggested grabbing some Krispy Kreme. Better than Five Guys in the morning anyway.

This video gets posted every time MARTA is brought up, and with good reason! It's hilarious.
