In every city you will see teenagers of all races being disruptive and obnoxious. In Atlanta alone I've seen white teens create just as much of a nuisance as the black ones.

Kids are stupid and large groups of them amplifies the stupidity. When has this ever not been the case?

Soon we wont have to worry about those types, but no telling what the ATLUTD crowd will bring in. Not only will many be drunk and load, many wont speak english.

You guys be complaining about the craziest stuff when it comes to Marta .. Try riding MTA on weekends and holidays as a tourist. When trains are running on what ever schedule and are sometimes 20 mins late. Are being stuck on the train for an hour because train derailed or someone is sick etc.

I had to hold my breathe sitting next to one of them. One was pushing another one so that she can bump into the passengers exiting and leaving. I felt pretty uncomfortable and I never feel uncomfortable around passengers esp not teens.

Nevertheless; It still will not deter me from riding Marta.

I think we need a program for teens about how to properly behave in a social setting!
Well don't ride MTA in NY because it's worse.

I rode the CTA all weekend and never once felt in danger on it or in downtown Chicago and all of those shootings were in the usual Southside and Westside neighborhoods after dark.

I have a grip, why are your people terrorizing our transit system? I was just curious about your feedback about the MECCA. Its not an everyday thing because Marta doesnt do it everyday. I wish you would make your people behave man. Thats all im saying bro.

Well, I can say that things are back to normal on MARTA today. Also, as for the Sunday schedule thing, I wonder how much of that can be attributed to the fact that Labor Day is a national holiday and most workers are off. Maybe that's why a regular weekday schedule could not be run.

Seriously. This is the first time I've heard of a "Freaknik riot" in Atlanta since, well, Freaknik was around...and that was years ago. This is the first time I've heard of a "Freaknik riot" taking place anywhere near MARTA, so no, this is nowhere near being a regular occurrence.
