MARTA is bluffing. It’s simply putting pressure, with the help of the general public, on the state legislature to come up with additional funding. Sure sign of a bluff: Threatened elimination of two popular shuttles (Braves, Lakewood).

Yep. Unless he thinks the buses might “capsize” if they get too many riders!

Jason,

Sure hope that our elected Georgia officials read your frustrations that you’ve expressed so well here. Otherwise, they’re not likely to ever “get” the full magnitude of what their inaction is costing our state.

Fingers crossed that they’ll act before your moving deadline arrives!

So just fo fill out your point, you’d be okay with making your local roads operate on a toll concept? Because let’s not get too caught up into the idea that it’s all interstates and GDOT 4-lane separated highways that have road funding issues. East Ponce costs the state and the county money. Sycamore costs the city money. And so on and so on. We all pay for it through our taxes – even if, speaking for myself, I never ride a bus across it, if one even runs there to begin with.
