I used MARTA quite extensively for nearly two years in the mid-2000s but seeing your video made it seem like it was only last month or so _and_ it made me homesick (a bit) for my home in Dunwoody. I used Sandy Springs Station of the time and I loved the sprawl of the Perimeter Mall Complex.
Just got jury duty. FFS. I'd be nice if Alpharetta wasn't part of Fulton county so I didn't have to go all the way down to one of the crummiest parts of Atlanta.
+Jonathan S Alpharetta IS part of Fulton county.... there are potential plans to extend the heavy rail up to Windward Parkway if we vote at the end of the year for the elective MARTA tax.
+Corey Jones Ideally they would recreate Milton County, so the residents of Alpharetta and Milton weren't fleeced with Atlanta taxes. Will definitely vote no on that tax, Alpharetta doesn't need any more Atlanta riff raff
+Jonathan S Traffic up here isn't going to get any better, and it'll be great to have an available alternative. If I ended up with a job in Midtown, I'd certainly want to be able to take the train instead of sit in 30 minutes of GA400/Midtown gridlock. And I'd say the population density of Sandy Springs/Roswell/Alpharetta is high enough to justify the capital costs now. We're not voting for riff-raff; we're voting to extend a system that's proven in recent years to be financially solvent (since 2013) and actively improving (shorter wait times since 2014 and WiFi currently being added to buses). If you're on a MARTA bus around Five Points, don't expect to be surrounded by wasp-y folks, but my experience with the northern part of the system in recent years has been entirely positive. This isn't a tax that's benefiting some ne'er-be-seen free-loader living on the streets; this tax is directly improving how we can get around our part of the metropolitan area.

this train is really fast
They are just perfect
17:26 The Subway.
While informative, the announcements are a little overboard at each stop.
Sounds just like the New York City Subway train
Steven Ouellet lol,it does.
Lol i think they do
