MARTA doesn't use MARTA

I attended another MARTA meeting last week in Chamblee.

None of the mgt. would answer any specific questions pertaining to costs. They were proposing elimination of bus routes in a seemingly ad-hoc manner with no supporting data. I personally believe that they are intentionally trying to maximize the inconvenience of their riders by threatening to eliminate popular (and profitable) routes (e.g. Braves Shuttle) in order to increase public outrage and hopefully create pressure for politicians to increase their budget.

The kicker - after the meeting adjourned I watched as all of the MARTA managers got into their cars and drove back to their Lindbergh Center train station headquarters. The meeting was held in Chamblee directly across the street from the train station - only 3 stops away from their Lindbergh Center train station headquarters.

UNBELIEVABLE!

MARTA needs to eat its own dog food!
