Maybe three, and that's being generous.

That literally isn't how our form of government works. MARTA is a government entity, thus any expansion must be voted on. Despite what certain outlets say government can't just do stuff without getting approval from voters or legislators.

Basically, we don't do the Robert Moses method of planning anymore.

Who says North Fulton doesn't need a Red Line extension?

Many times it is only about half full.
Sandy Spring never being full is very interesting and alarming. One has too look at the people live in the north yet work steps from a Marta station. I just dont understand that. I dont want it explained either.

Why does Marta's online parking not have edgewood/Candler Park, Inman Park/Reynoldstown and East Lake? You would think they have all of them online even though they aren't considered a key parking station.

I have requested they add those. I am sure they were focusing on stations effected by the I-85 collapse and normally heavy P&R stations.

You would think a lot of people are affected by the collapse that live near these stations. Lots of commuters to Buckhead and Perimeter from this area. I commute to Perimeter so taking Marta is a no brainer and Cox subsidizes it. I had already signed up for their subsidized card back in February. So this is good timing for me as I just received my card April 1st.
