As much as I would like to, I cannot take credit for this well put comment/opinion originating from the link the OP provided. He hit the nail on the head with this one though..

The Last Democrat in Georgia said..

{{"The irony in much of this is that this is far more important outside of Atlanta, in communities whether Griffin, Macon, or Columbus ….The whole concept of two Georgias is manifesting itself in this kind of issue, in that the rest of Georgia says, ‘We need to be connected to the money,’ – whether that is represented by the airport, or MARTA that connects to employment centers in the region, or the fact that Atlanta simply is the center of governmental and economic activity in the state.”"}}

Mr. Kenna need not take personal the disconnect between The Atlanta Region and the rest of the state where these transportation projects like regional commuter rail are important as a much-needed potential economic development as the collective local municipal and the state governments are together wildly dysfunctional and spectacularly incompetent.

Mr. Kenna and those like him other parts of the state need to understand and be aware that the Atlanta Region isn't purposely not advancing commuter rail to spite the rest of the state, but rather it is the wildly dysfunctional and spectacularly incompetent politics of the Atlanta Region in which exurban and urban interests are attempting to out-spite each other along with the massive dysfunction and even more spectacularly incompetent state government that is now dominated by suburban and exurban Atlanta and North Georgia interests, that is the blame for the total lack of progress on transportation and closely-related statewide economic development matters.

What a great idea, doubt Georgia has the balls to spend the money to build their part.

Doubt Georgia is dumb enough to spend $10 billion for a riderless train.

i think you ment 4028

[arjay57]

2028! I hope I can hang in there that long. It'll be so cool to go zipping along at 200 mph.

My options for the one of the routes.

From Atlanta then to Birmingham,then to Montgomery,to Columbus and back to Atlanta.
