Usually good for sports events and day to day commuting if coming from the northern suburbs. I wouldn't ride them late at night though.

Easiest way to get to a game is to park at Dunwoody and ride downtown.



When the braves were at Fulton and then turner wed just park over by perimeter and take Marta to the games.

Never had issues.

I'll probably take it to State Farm tomorrow. It's slower than driving a lot of the time but it's otherwise easy and the kids like it.

You do know what MARTA stands for? I would explain but prefer not to get banned.

Read the other ten times it was noted in this thread.

More positively, the trains look sharp!

Did they upgrade the buses too? Reminds me of the classic rap song “Bitch you ride the MARTA bus.”

I've ridden MARTA hundreds of times and I've never had a problem. It's nowhere near as dank as New York's subway. The west bound line coming into town has a great view of the skyline.
