My day (mostly) on MARTA

[sylvar]

Tuesday, after schlepping yard-sale leftovers to Salvation Army, I gave Tyson and Amanda a ride to a MARTA train station so they could get to the airport. I used it too, but didn't go that far south

This sounds great! Much as I love Austin, the public transportation sucks.

It's so funny...Sam lives in Decatur County... so when I see where you live, I get all excited, then have to remind myself that it's still far away. =(

MARTA is doable, especially in-town. Tom takes it every day to work. He drives 2.5 miles to a Park and Ride station then catches a bus to the North Springs train station. Then he's on the train about 15-20 minutes to Buckhead. All told, he spends about 35-40 minutes on MARTA and 10-15 minutes driving each way. He spends the MARTA time reading and listening to his iPod

Frogging...

Just IMed with Tom. The BUCride doesn't let off right at Chipotle anymore, but it's still closer than the train stations. :)

In addition, GRTA has a lot of routes around and about the north side. It's the granddad of GCT.

What this means to you is that if you wanted to get a job at Kennesaw State University, you can take mass transit there. If you get a job in the Johns Creek area (near where Fulton, Gwinnett, and Forsyth counties meet), you can take mass transit.). :D

Even though everyone complains about MARTA and CCT, I always liked them.

"Sorry, I don't carry cash." Works for me.

Yeah, and most of the time for me, it's not even a lie...
