You just proved my point. BRT/LRT is a miserable failure for that corridor unless augmented by a backbone system. So he can look all pro-transit with that, but given how much it will cost for how little benefit, it's just another anti-transit tactic.

THE BRT plan is the cheapest, bare bones plan they could come up with to appease the Cobb County business interest. Phase 1 doesn't even connect to any existing system, a huge disadvantage when they go looking for federal funds.

Let Cobb suffer with traffic until they come to Marta for help, or they could redesign their Routes with CCT.
