Surely even the Gold Dome folks can sense that it’s a new day for transit. Folks just aren’t going to stand still for their nonsense any longer.

(Didn’t mean to imply I wish Jill Chambers ill. Just excited to have a new person in there to assess things. )

It works very well in the (gasp) suburbs there, too. Lots of commuter rail to get folks downtown (think big Amtrak-like trains instead of MARTA cars). I used to live in town and reverse commute out to a job in burbs and the commuter train was quite nice.

Agree. I think folks in Georgia just don’t know how good it can be. Why not include Chicago? Mass transit sure seems to work well there in the central city areas, not as sure about other areas.
