MARTA trains have the same engines that BART has .

Nice video.I live in New York and the Marta is microscopic to the NYC subway but you get to see more open land riding the Marta.Atlanta is a nice city.

@BLOGTALK100 I'm also a New Yorker. The NYC subway sucks. It's overcrowded and it's full of bums and rats. Every system is cleaner and more modern. MARTA reminds me of the DC Metro.

I remeber riding the MARTA all the time as a kid.

I grew up on that thing.

houston needs to get on the ball and build a heavy rail/subway system. the current light rail runs through very dense areas, and has to stop for auto traffic.

[murfreebear]

a train stop for traffic, that defeats the whole purpose of a rail system. That is like riding the bus :(

[mfastx]

to be fair, it only stops at two or three lights, but sometimes it takes about 10-15 minutes to get through that three-four block stretch.

[murfreebear]

Sorry but any train that has to stop for cars is an epic FAIL!!!!!!

[mfastx]

agreed

LOL

@murfreebear marta doesnt stop for cars @ any point, it is a major city rail system not like ones bullshit one youll see in Dallas and houston.

[murfreebear]

@GringoESantoDomingo Dallas is bigger than ATL LOL!!!!!

[GringoESantoDomingo]

@murfreebear yeah I know dallas is not a small city but it is no where near as big as atlanta. I always thought dallas was a chicago like city but when I went there I was amazed to see that it was more like jacksonville fl.

@murfreebear The difference in the size of Dallas and ATL metro areas is negligible. I have lived in both and Atlanta has more diversity and more of a cosmopolitan feel than Dallas and Houston put together and the most tall buildings of any American city other than NYC and Chicago yes even Houston. Atlanta has 5 distinct skylines spread over the metro.

MARTA has a terrible reputation, but I never have experienced anything bad on it. I actually think it is one of the nicer rail transit systems in the country (except that it doesn't go enough places)

[murfreebear]

It was a nice train system. I grew up near Chicago. Of corse Chi town has their transit down pat. Marta is nice but like you said it should go more places. I think it should goto Marietta. When I visit I ride Marta as much as possible due to too many people that can't drive using the Interstate system (not just ATL other cities too). I do also think the 75/85 through town is awesome due to the buttload of lanes LOL!!!!!

[parejopinto]

sounds like the Boston subway

Good old MARTA, how I don't miss thee (lol).

Nice video, man.
