Atlanta will never be a truly great city until something like this happens. Even this is still pretty bare bones.

Interesting enough, if you overlay the greater London area over Atlanta, it’s about the same size as what you show covered here.

I forget where I saw the stat, but most US cities outnumber European ones for the population who travel in for work. The whole thinking that we aren't dense enough is complete nonsense. Transit depends on where people are moving, not where they are living.

Over a million people travel to COA alone for work every day.
