Now that needs to be changed, clayton could have had all shelters needed by now as well as ample trash services.
And stalled out its high-capacity transit study by diverting study funding...

Saw one Marta sign post on Upper Riverdale Rd. with a bench, cement pad and Trash can Attached. Would be great to see more of these around Clayton in addition to some shelters soon. Everything that is added, which is very sporadically, seems to go on the 196 line only. Mind you, there are tons of these types of stops on Atlanta's north side.

Atlanta, Fulton County, and DeKalb have been a part of MARTA for 40 years. Clayton had the same opportunity 40 years ago, don't blame MARTA because 'northside' areas got a 40 year jump on bus infrastructure installment. You said you are starting to see benches, etc. then that shows progress is being made. Not every stop is going to have it and there are metrics that must be met to get a shelter.

A great idea to reuse the seats that will be removed from Turner Field and Georgia Dome and create seating at bus stops
PUPstops
