@KeishaBottoms pls platform this on your campaign

[Darin Givens @atlurbanist]

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.

There'll also be little useful infrastructure left behind.

Knicks fans are insane 😭😭😭

“My Mayor is Muslim, my bagel is Jewish, my Christian’s Dior… Knicks in 4!!!”

@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

[Phil @Urban_Connector]

So we can drive a hour everywhere and live among close-minded folks in could-e-sacs? I’m good.

@topherino16 @KelseaBondATL @MARTAarmy @beltlinerailnow i'm also curious how i don't see @sodowntownatl is quiet publicly on this, few would benefit more from the streetcar east expansion than them

[Charlotte 💙 💫🚉💫 @barely_th3re]

the concept of being around other people is gross? go to the psychologist

[Big Sheddy 🦅 @coder_blvck]

Not for vibe-coders, they started with a full blown e-commerce platform with a supabase backend and 8 microservices

[Kelsea Bond 🌹 @KelseaBondATL]

The level of dishonesty coming from this administration and the Beltline Inc. is unmatched

[MARTA Bus Rider @betterATL]

Yeah… fuck Clyde Higgs and Andre Dickens.

Build the Beltline rail NOW.

The agency referenced is Beep… the dumb group getting millions to pilot buses around Lee + White.

KLB platforming state funding of marta would be one of the most progressive things she could do to sway voters

[The Last of the Black Iowans 🤞🏾🌽 @byst]

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

@MARTAtransit 21 and 22 buses skipping five points with no notice. 20+ people waiting, some for 2 hours with no alternatives

@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

[roy @royfrompluto]

@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

[roy @royfrompluto]

@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

[Zito @_Zeets]

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.
