I wanted to know what others thought about MARTA's Tourist Bus Route http://www.itsmarta.com/newsroom/latest_news/ATL_Tourist_Loop.html I think service for...
This is such a typical response. The operating funds are spent to create a new route, but nothing has occured with regards to necessary capital upgrades...
Well, in theory the new route should have some value for residents as well. Local residents who work at one of the tourist attractions might find it useful, as...
In the case of MARTA, the tax money comes from sales taxes. When you consider how much money tourists spend in Fulton and DeKalb, I wouldn't complain about a...
I thought i would send this out since no one sees my blog http://www.developingatlanta.com/wordpress/?p=36 Giles Stevens President 1205 Dorby Park Drive ...
The Republican Blog "Peach Pudit" has a recent entry about today's AJC editorials regarding the "Great Train Robbery of 2006." I posted a reply, perhaps some...
Check out the metaphor used by Rep. Ben Harbin (R-Evans) to describe his reasoning behind the language inserted into the bill: Before we allow taxpayer money...
I know this is an older post but I wanted to throw my two cents in. First of all, I am Bradley and I ride from Avondale to Buckhead station almost daily. The...
MARTA has put signs up for this loop. I passed a sign today at the corner of Ralph McGill and Boulevard that was the standard MARTA bus sign with the tourist...

There will be a second tourist bus starting Memorial Day that will cover Midtown sites like those mentioned by Meg. It will connect with the downtown bus at...
I get the idea, but when I'm told to wait an hour for a bus because of funding issues and then I hear of a new route with 30 minute wait times, then MARTA has...

Bummer. The first week I moved into my new place downtown -- from another place a block away -- I decided for some reason to lock it up outside. Wait, I know ...
Bradley, I'm really sorry to hear about your bike. It's nice to know that the MARTA cops are still only payed to protect cars. <shameless plug> You should come...
Hey Jay, thanks for the message. I figured I would get some responses from the group with advice. I am a bike novice and never really thought I would even...
John Sugg has a great profile of Emory Morsberger and the "brain train" concept (commuter rail to Athens) in this week's Creative Loafing. I think it's a...
Hi, Bradley. Jay's comrade Rachael here. If you're in a total bind, we can find a way to get the wheel to you (that is, if we have the right one in the shop)....
Solution: bike lockers. Other transit systems have them and they would even generate modest revenue. Bascially all that needs to be done is a survey of Marta...
I find it interesting, in a sad way, that bike lockers are necessary here, as opposed to in many other parts of the world -- not the U.S. -- where there are...

FYI, MARTA has now posted the timetable and map for the #100 / Downtown Loop in the standard online format: http://www.itsmarta.com/getthere/schedules/100.htm...
High bike theft cities = high bike ridership cities. What might deter people from bike theft is easier access to bicycle ownership and maintenance services...
Jay is right, Breeze would be the perfect way of accessing bike lockers. Since Breeze is suppose to be used as a universal transportation payment system, it...
