Hi Deanne – I get my exercise by walking where the buses don’t go, AND I save tons of $ too. The occasional rental car at vacation destinations keeps me in practice should I ever want to own a car again… Public transportation is just a personal choice, not entirely economic, nor ecologic, nor any other “ic” — but it suits me well. Thanks for your supportive comments!

Yeah ! That was exactly what I said yesterday.

Hi Chira (Way up there- no reply link!)

I absolutely agree with you that I’d like to see ALL mass transit options succeed! I mostly walk. I’m always surprised when I have to clean all the pollen off my car just to drive it! But you ROCK for making MARTA a way of life!

[Dean- maybe it's: "What she/he said!" If only it was so easy to get folks to completely agree with me! :0) ]

Is there some sort of echo chamber going on?

I haven’t reverted to “the old car ride” since 1998. Public transportation has been just great for me, and I hope Marta will come out of this brouhaha smelling like a rose and that the brain train will become a reality. I will be a frequent passenger, and never miss “the old car ride” at either end.
