MARTA is the largest transit system in the U.S. to receive no dedicated operations funding (for salaries & more) from its state. Without more operations money, MARTA can't truly expand service. It can only shift resources around.
When will leaders finally address this?

Needed to pull out an important part of the interview.
AI is often justified by comparing it to Amazon Web Services' ($57bn) or Uber's ($32bn) losses, when its costs/losses are hundreds of billions of dollars worse.

@Urban_Connector I live in Atlanta. I rarely have traffic, I’m close to everything I need. I only have significant traffic visiting people in the suburbs. These people in the comments must not actually live in the city. 20 minutes on Moreland or Ponce is not real traffic
Yeah… fuck Clyde Higgs and Andre Dickens.
Build the Beltline rail NOW.

MARTA genuinely makes me sad some days
My hope is that with a Democratic governor and statehouse, it will finally receive the support it desperately needs
There must be bold progressive visionaries w/ power, at the state level, that use transit and want to see it thrive

@tish________@PADatlanta@MARTAtransit marta exists in the greater american social context where we have a problem with violence, economic insecurity, and racism and until those are addressed, public spaces will always have an underlying sense of unease
@tish________@PADatlanta@MARTAtransit safety of marta is a tough subject because of lots of bad faith arguments amplified by the reality of being in a black city in the south
@tish________@PADatlanta@MARTAtransit either way i'm not sure this scales as a long term solution, the surface area of a public transit system is too large to deploy responsible humans to. i'm not aware of any other transit system that uses this pattern to effectively ensure safety
This country is so fucking deranged. Even if he stole water bottles, that’s not reason for a death sentence. But the fact that he didn’t and they chased him down to kill him, and got away with it is so evil.
