Dude, are you capable of making an argument that does not include vitriol?
If MARTA covers an area that is 300 square miles wide, has 1.8 million residents, and has a daily ridership of half a million (30% of the resident population of the service area) how is that inadequate?
Public transportation in Atlanta can (and will (http://www.cfpt.org/pages/wctv - broken link)), get better. However, to call the public transportation network in Atlanta inadequate for the population it serves is nonsense.
To help you out, you should give an example of how MARTA does not work correctly.
LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF RIDERS PER DAY.
Do you understand that for the 40th time or do I need to repeat myself again?
They take the subway. You are silly. Try to use common sense.
Umm, we're talking about people who don't use transit here. Use some flippin common sense. It's bad when the flippin' New Orleanian has more than the mighty New Yorker .

Hahaha! Good point. But I will add if you a draw a line from Boston on down to Washington D.C. that's the true scope of Northeaster/Mid-Atlantic sprawl
Well I live in Buckhead currently, so I'll be interested in seeing how someone who lived here for a month would know better than I.
Ummmmmm. Probably because your standards for transit are lower than mine.
Everyone that I know who has moved to Atlanta has complained about their transit. MARTA IS AWFUL!!!
Honestly, it doesn't matter if I have never stepped foot in Atlanta. Anyone can tell from the number of stations and number of riders per day that their transit sucks.
You are flat out ignorant. You need to get out of your southern sprawl in the south and experience a real city.
I live in NYC for a year troll!!! I know how the Highways in NYC are slammed with cars as well as people using transit and walking.. dont try to act like NYC is not dependent on cars.... You have the nerve to call me ignorant lol

Not to mention the sprawl in northern cities outside of NY tend to be less dense and tackier than the sprawl in southern cities.
