A trip on MARTA from Kensington to Five Points

[isaac9414]

I like the paris metro and RER.

[DMVfightclub]

DC metro:

106.3 miles

85 stations,

5 lines

MARTA:

47.6 miles

38 stations

4 lines

Now you tell me, which one is better?

[Roxie21]

You see the best graffiti on this line

[Brillemeister]

@Roxie21 There wasn't half as much of it when I took this video, though. Actually, a lot's changed in four years. New apartments have gone up, a few buildings have actually collapsed or been torn down, and obviously the Westin went through a few changes. . .

[DirtyFangs]

whew im not in it! :D

Spend a lot of time @ GWCC/Phillips- (blah blah blah) station??? 'Tourists're always tryina get there. ppl lost in the station are fun n easy to help^^

[Brillemeister]

Some trivia: at last enumeration, the station had the longest name of any subway station in the world...

[DirtyFangs]

XD sure does! People mostly don't know to go to that one or to Peachtree station. It's genreally one around there for all the stuff they wanna see. :3

[KillYoFam97]

Kensington To 5 Points Is The Longest Trip Ever

[Brillemeister]

Unless, of course, you get on at Indian Creek instead. :D

[JamesBlakeWilliams]

If DC metro system is so much better than Marta's then tell me why they had a train collision, and Marta hasn't?

[Brillemeister]

Hey, let's not go there..

[Raiden100]

I think that the Washington DC Metro Transit System is the best and it beats Marta NYC subways and etc.

[leonardwilson85]

@Raiden100 The DC Metro has declined in quality over the years but it is still infinitely better than the joke known as the NYC subway (and I'm a New Yorker).

[Raiden100]

DC Metro kicks MARTA'S ASS.

[Amazetbm]

@Raiden100 The mass transit in Europe makes all of your systems seem laughable.

[leonardwilson85]

@Amazetbm The NYC subway, yes. The DC Metro, no. The DC Metro is the cleanest and most modern system there is.

[Amazetbm]

@leonardwilson85 Yeah, Metro is cleaner. But I was talking about in terms of efficiency and rail coverage. NYC is the only one that seems to come close and it still has its issues. After riding the S-bahn and U-bahn in Berlin, coming back and riding MARTA is like trying to put on shoes that you wore in middle school.

[2204Alpha]

@Amazetbm Go to Dallas/Fort Worth and ride DART. MUCH cleaner and nicer (and faster) than MARTA or Metro. Covers a far greater population, has less crime on the system than DC or ATL, and actually turns a profit unlike Marta which is a massive loss.

WAT YEAR WAS DIS

[raylina89]

I used to catch the 115 bus to kesington station everyday I moved to nc now

thanks for posting

[j4lambert]

Looks like the reason the door chime doesn't work is because the train is being rehabilitated.

[so0ooSincere]

The Marta may not be as busy and dirty as the nyc subway but its clean,safe,and fast

[NotoriousNYNJ]

NYC all da way. NY metro is older anyway. What's ya'll problem. If everything was the same then America would be boring. Besides most of the people that use NY transit are tourists.

[xbabiepikax]

Why are you coming to an Atlanta Marta thread saying NYC all da way? Who cares about NYC, why are you even mentioning it?

[Bariwon1]

Safe? did u not see the you tube video of the crazy bi-polar chick on the train, where was the MARTA POLICE when that happend

[theYTmob]

Usually their just at the train stations not ridin around on the train, sometimes their not even at some train stations

[Bariwon1]

fuck atl gay ass city

[debo280]

bitch dont be fucin talkin about atl its my favorite place to go so if you got sum shit to say about atl then you bring that shit to me bitch

[NotoriousNYNJ]

ATL gets boring realy fast. If you aint into clubs, strip clubs and shit like that, all you can do is eat the food. Which is pretty good by the way.

[debo280]

now cum on nyc gets boring and dont tell me other wise because i us to live their and there was never anything to do no where to have fun accept at like a clubs and sight seeing and whats the use of sight seeing when you see the same shit everyday ny was very noisy i could never get any sleep i was up all night so it doesnt matter where you are it can still get boring

[NotoriousNYNJ]

Yeah but ya'll always forget that NY is more than Uptown or Manhattan. You got Bronx, Queens, the island and Brooklyn. And if you don't wanna live in the city you can live in NY state or Jersey. It's the whole tri state area.

[debo280]

i already knew that and i dont have to go to nj i can jus live in then country part of newyork they have cows and every thing else it looks just like sc to me

[Bariwon1]

i agree, i think most cities can get boring, but its up to us to find new ways to entertain ourselves while we are there, i just feel that ATL, has become been there and done that, some new and exciting has to happen here in order for it to keep my interest

[Bariwon1]

damn dude, did some1 shit on wheaties this morning, i live in Atl, unfourtunatly, and im just saying the LA and NYC have a better transit system. i find ATL to be a great place to visit, but not the best city to live in, im not into the whole club scene, please, convince me on is Atlanta, this super Great City, in my eyes this place is fucking HYPE, it has nice women, and good resturants, but everything else sucks, tryin to snap on me like the city paid ya DUMB ASS to defend it on youtube, loser

[debo280]

first of mutha fucin all bitch dont leave my sum fucin rude ass comment about no mutha fucin subwat transit system i dont fucin club and the mutha fucin city didnt have to pay me you dumbass bitch so dont get that shit twisted so step the fuck off you dumb ass cock sucking bitch now shut the fuck up and one more thing if you like atlanta so mutha fucin much then why the fuc did you call it gay you ignorant ass bitch now fuck off

[Bariwon1]

y so defensive over one person veiw of atlanta, i'm just basically saying, its not what everyone say it is, i basically took a job here, i didn't come here for what most people come down here for ANYWAY, im not tryin to be the "NEXT RAP STAR" from Atlanta, the has potential to grow into a Mega- Metropolis, like NYC,LA Chicago, and also is it me or different races are seperated in ATL, there is no real culturial fusion here, btw, i love ur 4-5 letter vocab, what school did u got to TRI-CITIES?

[debo280]

bitch you are so fucin twisted how could you say sumthing like that there is nothing wrong with my fucin vocab i jus type like this like in texting and no wonder you dont have fun in Atlanta you sound like a fucin withe boy fag so stfu ok

[Bariwon1]

marta fuckin suck, in NY the buses run 24/7, As much as every1 hypes up ATL, the transit system should b at least 24/7

[Brillemeister]

Granted, very few cities measure up to NY, especially in public transit. I never wanted to leave when I went...but not even Tokyo has a 24-hour subway; theirs shuts down at 11. O_O

[debo280]

who needs a mutha fucin tranis system to run 24/7 i know people need rides if they dont have a car but every sub way isnt like ny ny has more people and has to run 24/7 thats why they always have to fix them and their dangerous dirty and jus plan filty they need to clean that dirty ass shit so stop hatein on atl ok now fuck off an atl hoe 4 lyfe

[chruckgraham]

Dang I didnt know MARTA got you around so fast...I live in Bham and after seeing how fast MARTA moves people around I now know why that is one ways ATL is kicking our ass

[Brillemeister]

I'd say it was Birmingham turning down an airport expansion way back when :D

No offense.

[svartmetall48]

Are three doors per carriage enough because those seem like very long carriages?

Most metros I have ridden on have four doors per carriage and the carriges seem to be shorter. Just wondered if there was a crush at rush hour at all. :)

[Brillemeister]

There's most definitely a crush now, but Atlanta didn't have so many transit riders when the trains started up in 1979.

[Brian3219]

Yeah dude. Theres tons of good graff in atlanta. Hense, Sever, all those guys. NY isn't the only place with graff

[amtraklover]

Fort Valley State University

[Graffstar22]

I prefer NYC, that way I can write on the walls.

[Brian3219]

there is graff in atlanta

[amtraklover]

ahh the good ol marta train!. too bad i'm in college 100 miles away!

[fjdollars2015]

MARTA = Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

[smash29]

MARTA = Moving Africans Raidly Through Atlanta.

[haverstonlife]

Marta is such a nice transit system,very clean and organized and better than the NYC subway I would love to ride the marta one day.

[Brian3219]

yeah way cleaner i live in atlanta and its a great system

[mrjmartin]

Better than NYC? Oh, you have GOT to be kidding yourself. LOL!!

[xbabiepikax]

NYC has the more extensive subway system no doubt with much greater passenger usage. However as for comfort of seats, cleanliness, features such as watching HD content on HDTV. Marta has it beat.

[1Th1617]

True. But have you seen or ridden L.A.'s subway system? Truly beautiful, new, quiet, clean.

[jeanniewellercooper]

Cool footage- my kids will be xcited to see it! Thanks for putting it on.

[CorruptedMinds]

Hmmm...the films of my trips on marta are a bit more...exciting...haaaaaa...

[LBCutta]

maan this brings back memories of riding Marta to school..
