Silly Gwinnett
One of the smarter things the City of Atlanta ever did was make sure there were express lanes for the Braves Shuttle. Yes, there should be a train station is easy walking distance from Turner Field (and GSU’s station isn’t), but in absence of that, the express bus system is not a bad thing.
Why can’t other transit systems do this? For example, the Gwinnett Gladiators are deep into the ECHL play-offs. I’d love to take a Gwinnett Transit bus from the Doraville station directly to the arena. However, this is only worth it if I can avoid all the traffic that builds on Sugerloaf Parkway and Satellite Blvd. Why no ‘bus only’ lanes?
What good is a mass transit system if you won’t use it where there are masses of people?
