Come on Man! People are always complaining. This is not as bad as original poster explained.

You are just paying $2.50 ($2.25 if buy in bulk), go to Washington and pay $4.00 then you will start complaining about fare.

Be optimistic and be happy

Thanks CQHolt, I am pretty certain the outside looked like the first one.

Well, that definitely looks like the inside. Seems like it had a few more seats than that though, and the seats that flipped up were front facing. I noticed because once the driver had to flip up and lock some for a man in a wheelchair. It was the Route 5 Piedmont Rd/Sandy Springs bus.

I guess I just don't remember the old ones because I only rode a few times, and I spent all my time fretting over whether I was going to miss my stop, meaning my eyes were glued on what was outside the window.

Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority - CPTDB Wiki

Something I thought was pretty cool about MARTA buses past and present.

I'm not a big fan of the "Euro" look of today's buses. Nothing like the nice square front of the older New Flyers and the roar of Detroit diesel engine!! I'll miss that. I'm an RTS fan myself though. Always wished MARTA had these.

The CNG saves MARTA millions and I like that. The buses are just sexier.
