Wow. I love this guy.

Finally, a beacon of fresh air and progressive thought on the Atlanta forum. Keep the intelligent posts coming. Eradicate the ignorance.

And major rep points to you.

I've shown you public law and I've given you the reason why public transit is vital to national defense (as well as disaster readiness in general)? I'm not coming up with a liberal activist argument for federal funding of public transit...I'm using your argument for federal funding of interstate system.

The fed would spend quite a bit less on the maintenance of the interstate system if it was only used by the military. If you want to use the interstate to get to work..you should pay for it.

Clayton pulls plug on bus service *| ajc.com
And to think the IDIOTS at GRTA wanted to run a commuter train down there! And they cannot even support a bus service!

Way too much. The fares should be in line with MARTA fares.

Zero chance. The decision has been made.

If the Clayton County commishioners and the State Representative(s) who covers that area aren't doing their darndest to beat down the doors of the State Capitol for more finances then it's only more indicative of the sorry, pathetic, leadership that we have in Georgia in this present time.

It's even indicative of the laziness and apathy of the Clayton County voters that they would elect such shoddy leadership to represent them in these matters. What a drag...

GRTA doesn't run MARTA or C-TRAN.

I know that but they are the ones that wanted to start the "Lovejoy Choo Choo" which would FAIL in a month! The south side does NOT have traffic issues. Getting to town is NOT a problem there. The north side is where transit projects are badly needed.
