Jeanne Bonner reports over on Atlanta Unfiltered that Atlanta Business Chronicle reporter Maria Saporta laid into Atlanta’s mayoral candidates during a Citizen’s For Progressive Transit transportation forum last night, using some of those age old “you talk the talk, but do you walk the walk?” questions.

To rattle down Bonner’s compiled list of answers to questions asked by Saporta:

• none of the Atlanta mayoral candidates regularly take MARTA
• none of the candidates live in neighborhoods that traditionally have sidewalks
• none are avid cyclists or bike commuters

That said, all the candidates say they are strong supporters of alternative transit options in Atlanta.  However, it’s one thing to show support and another to live the life.  For people with the means to choose where they live that choice often can say more about a public figure than a stump speech or a kiss on your baby’s forehead.

So, if you’re an Atlanta voter and alternative transportation is your primary concern this election, find some other issue to be passionate about because transit isn’t a strong suit for any of these candidates.
