Hey @MARTAtransit is there a detour on route 1? I walked to a bus stop that is suppose to be on 8th street and bus stop is gone and a bus never passed. But I did see a bus pass 8th street at Northside Dr going north bound? Stop ID 213872

@ajlamesa I believe I remember seeing the vendor with the taller gates in the atrium at marta during a visit in 2022. So I would assume this was an option.
Okay, Gov Kemp is offering Nat Guard troops if MARTA says it needs help. How about a trooper at every fair gate all day long for a couple of weeks? You pay or you don’t ride. Maybe that would give MARTA time to get its act together on the new gates. I said maybe.
If Republicans want to help Atlanta in any meaningful way, they could start by funding MARTA. This would include security. However, The GA GOP prefers to instigate a crisis, pretend to help, spike police surveillance and do nothing to solve the problem they created.
A couple of points: MARTA PD says it can’t keep people w/ guns off the trains b/c of state law. What’s the likelihood this guy was carrying legally? Plus we still know virtually nothing — not even a residence — of the MARTA stabbing suspect.
@wsbtv You’d think @MARTAtransit would increase train frequencies to help move people throughout the city but I guess not.
Too bad MARTA/ COA and GADOT haven’t invested in more transit only lanes on major corridors to keep buses moving.
One day 20 years too late it’ll get together.
If @MARTAtransit is going to continue with open gates and open emergency gates, at least have MPD there with a hand held validator collecting and enforcing fares to be in the stations. I guess that’s not a simple temporary solution for leadership. Something better than nothing!
Thanks @MARTAtransit for the inconvenience today on route 2. After waiting 30+ minutes for a westbound bus at North Ave I was forced to pay $23 for a Lyft. Thanks for seamless and “free” transfer. Please do better!
@Latesha_Byrd $700 is cheap, I usually find it for $750+. @Delta is making so much money off these flights using the 717. Profits over comfort for the short flights.
@Amtrak please take Donald Trumps name off the new Acela trains. This will be my last ride on Amtrak if you’re going to be political and plaster his name on trains
Won’t invest in proper transit. This is supposed to be the busiest airport in the world yet plenty of neighboring counties and cities do not have a reliable way of getting to the airport on public transit. Completely backwards.
