MARTA Doraville & Chamblee Stations Video

Please join MARTA employee, Kevin Chong, as he takes us on a tour of MARTA's two stations on the Gold Northeast line: Doraville and Chamblee.
The Doraville and Chamblee communities holds one of the largest Asian communities in the country. Many Latin American countries are also represented. More than half the residents speak a language other than English as their first language.
Some of the most popular destinations in the nearby communities include: The Buford Highway Farmer's Market, featuring international foods and a focus on Korean. Bus route 39 starts at Doraville Station and travels down the Buford Highway corridor all the way to Lindbergh Station. Along the way is a variety of dining, shopping, and businesses that include Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Mexican, and many other Latin and Asian influences. The Doraville Station is also a connection for the Gwinnett bus transit system. If you take a random count of license plates in the Doraville Station parking lots you will find more than half of them are folks driving from Hall, Forsyth, Barrow and Gwinnett who choose to park and ride the train into town.
The former General Motors Assembly Plant is located on the west side of the Doraville Station. It was recently sold for redevelopment and plans are to build a livable, mixed-use transit-oriented development.
A quick train ride south takes us to Chamblee Station. The "International District" is on the east side of the station, and "Antique Row" is to the west. Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, known as PDK, is the second busiest airport in Georgia!, and is a quick walk or bus ride away. You can see the runway from the Chamblee Station platform. The Atlanta Chinese Cultural Center is also nearby, just a 3-minute walk. It's known for its Chinese New Year festivities.
On the west side of Chamblee Station you will find new lofts and condos along Peachtree Road. They are very popular due to the proximity to the train station. Just a few blocks north is downtown Chamblee and where Antique Row begins. Antique lovers can spend a day hunting through antique, consignment, and thrift shops.
We hope you enjoy the video tour!

You need to improve access to Doraville from I-85.

Another additional station on the East line near Stone Mountain Park that can also have a transfer point to Gwinnett County Transit would be called “Rockbridge.” There’d be 2 routes for GCT, one towards downtown Lawrenceville via GA-124, and another towards south of Gwinnett County via US-78

If not into Gwinnett, I think they should at least extend the Northeast line to I-85 at Pleasantdale Road...

[@Myfavoritecuties]

@@jayo1212 or they could extend the following routes into Gwinnett County: 47, 75, & 121 to the intersection of Lawrenceville Hwy and Jimmy Carter to have a transfer point to route 30, 124 to Graves Road, and 142 to Peachtree Corners.

Great, except MARTA cut my old neighbourhood route (#129) just after I moved to Marietta. I guess I was the last non-coloured rider who depended on the bus system. I depended on that route to get to the Chamblee MARTA station. They also moved the #103 route that I could have depended on to get to my church on N. P'tree. Someone also tore down my former home off Chamblee Dunwoody Rd. so I couldn't move back there even if I wanted to now. At least, I could depend on Cobb Linc.
