Today my friend did not hear back form Marta.
Just as we suspected they really could care less. I say the State should take over this pile of crap we call rapid transit and run it all the way to Macon and Chattanooga!

The route of the #19 bus happens to pass through my neighborhood (Drew Valley). I would say that 60% of the time, I see two buses heading in the same direction minutes apart. They’re either both heading to Brookhaven or both heading to Decatur. I can only assume that it’s the bus drivers that are at fault and not Atlanta traffic. What I wonder is how much authority MARTA has over the drivers and whether they can discipline the drivers involved. Are the drivers represented by a union?. If so, there might not be much MARTA can do to correct the problem.

Awesome. I can’t wait to hear their reply. (Or lack thereof.)
