Even if you wanted to use MARTA, chances are is that it wouldn't be much help. You would be better driving.

Well, that's just your opinion. In reality there is:

Georgia Tech
Emory
Spelman
Morehouse

Each of those universities are at the top of their respective areas of focus nationally and internationally.

Then there is Georgia State and several smaller colleges that lead up to an highly concentrated higher education center in the City.

You might know anything about the schools here in ATL but the business community does. GA State has one of the highest ranked Policy, Insurance, and Business schools in the country. GA State law school is also ranked high in specific programs. Tech, Emory,Mercer, Morehouse, and Spellman are schools with great names and rankings. and thats not even all of them in the Metro area. Those are just the ones inside the Perimeter.


And people dont forget that MARTA is building the BRT on memorial Dr. in Stone Mountain from Kennsington to Stone Mountain and Mountain Industrial.

I really don't think you know what you're talking about. Care to offer specifics?
The specifics that I would like to offer is the facts.

The amount of stations in operation and the amount of riders per day.

There being a troll right now. I think they are upset that we are praising Atlanta... and they cant take that.. No one likes to see Atlanta sit in high standards thats ok because it makes me boost more about where I live....
