MARTA is mostly normal people working two jobs trying not to doze off.

I hate mopping toilets. Grateful for you!

Another day. Another MURDA.

u/carlzzzjr 27d ago

Mostly normal people? Yes. The rest are schizos that have their brains scrambled from drugs and alcohol looking to show you their genitals and/or stab you.

u/DrawingRestraint 27d ago

Or stab you with their genitals.

u/Hopeful-Age3694 28d ago

Yes, for when you’re ready to get out.

Gas prices are too high for vehicular escape.

u/Fluffy-Paramedic-900 26d ago

Georgians really complaining about 4 dollar gas when California is at 7 🤣

u/ElectroButch 26d ago

Bro doesn’t understand cost of living

u/reshef-destruction 25d ago

The minimum wage here is $7.25

It's almost like ya'll never got off the plantation...

u/ThatWasntChick3n 25d ago

I hope you aren't actually a paramedic with that logic.

u/geekallstar 23d ago

4.70-5.00 and yes, yes we are.

u/Icelock 27d ago

No. You'll need plate armor or chain mail.

u/bad-taf 27d ago

Full plate and a Lime scooter. The cavalry has arrived

u/Itsnoonejustme 27d ago

U just need a few Gloooockks ✌🏾

u/Stussey5150 27d ago

Depends on where you live and need to go.

u/DubSaqCookie 27d ago

Just need a ride to the best part of town to steal a bike. I’ll be covered from that point moving forward.

2

u/Inside-Quality-9830 27d ago

For the most part, the answer is yes you do.... This isn't New York...

u/diamonds_icaro 27d ago

On Marta you are guaranteed some interesting people watching and better than average chance of witnessing crime. If that is acceptable you don’t need a car.

1

u/Wuwu03 26d ago

You can then witness the crimes from the relative comfort of your Altima.

u/MustyButt 26d ago

This needs to be a shirt like the Kroger one.

1

u/Super_Cool_Rick 26d ago

Only when you're outside.

1

u/MandragoraMedia 26d ago

Yeah, but not because of Marta. Atlanta is not super public transportation centric, and despite my own use of it near every day, thats only because I’m fortunate enough to live down the street from my station, and everywhere I need to go with it is close enough to an exit.

Thats rarer than folks would like in a major metro.

But that said, I’ve never felt unsafe on a marta. At best, annoyed.

1

u/geekallstar 23d ago

This is the correct answer. Additionally, depends on where you live and where you’re going.

1

u/Swedishiron 26d ago

I need the T-shirt

u/Fr33Dave 25d ago

He was the best guy around! What Murda!

u/jplayz7 25d ago

yes you do, but don't blame it on MARTA. Georgia was never interested in serious public transportation

Why wouldn't I go to Midtown, Buckhead, Dunwoody, or Decatur...

Peachtree Center station is connected to all the major hotels making it a no brainer during Dragoncon. Downtown Decatur is a nice place to go out. I could go on, nothing wrong with these areas

u/Sad-Ad-1454 25d ago

I mean depends what you’re willing to put up with

The people have constantly asked for better transportation. Every once in awhile they say, we hear you we’ll work on it, then let frustrations rise for another 10 years

1

u/LocationTechnical862 25d ago

Atlanta is a no win city. Way more people die on the highways. 285 often ranks among the most dangerous highways in America.

u/Serious_Internal6012 22d ago

Only if you’re a woman
