MARTA - Pt. 1

This is a video of me riding on MARTA, which is an acronym for Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.

MARTA serves mostly Fulton and DeKalb counties, excepting a rail station (Airport - S7) in Clayton County, serving Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and C-Tran, and one bus route (Route 12 - Howell Mill/Cumberland) that provides access to Cumberland Mall in Cobb County. MARTA's not funded by the state -- it's funded by a 1% sales tax from Fulton and DeKalb counties. Because of this lack of state funding, MARTA General Manager and CEO, Dr. Beverly A. Scott, was talking about cutting some of the authority's service, by consolidating some bus routes and cutting back rail service hours (i.e., going to a six day service week, for rail and buses).

Atlanta's subway may be small, but it's much cleaner and better than New York's subway system. People in New York are nasty when It comes to throwing trash on the floor and tracks in the subway station.

@TheOvahness

Good point.

[djcountry1985]

nice videos but i id like a tour video of a ghetto and trap houses

[Bryant5493]

Thanks.

Well, that's something that you're going to have to see for yourself.

[Bryant5493]

To my knowledge, no. C-Tran, transportation of Clayton County, is going to end next March, so MARTA may take that over.

[chrisshwada]

Is marta going to be expanded? I think atlanta needs more rail

[Bryant5493]

Yeah, it's fast and efficient -- most of the time.

:-) It's a nice name indeed.

[CAMINOANDALUZ]

An excellent means of transport, fast and effectively.

And it has the name of my niece "MARTA",

I like the name of the train.
