The Subway of Atlanta, Georgia 2017 (MARTA)

[@KTTheAircraftLover]

My ultimate MARTA nostalgia video.

[@natep8153]

it's always fun to ride MARTA and look down and laugh at all the commuters stuck on I-85/I-285/I-20/400.

[@stevenkelly9731]

Majority of them probably live in communities that voted against...due to their ignorance and fear mongering idiotic assertion of crime increase...so let them suffer.

[@utterbullspit]

It's always funny riding that thing and wondering why more people aren't using it. Most times, I actually get downtown faster riding the train and don't have to worry about finding parking.

[@TrainerCTZ]

Every Station is a work of art. Great network, I use to ride daily as a kid in Atlanta. All the way to the airport to do some plane spotting.

[@MicheyJoe]

There is just something so 'Majestic' about this system.

[@sebbyconfetti]

I know I just love the sound of the trains stopping and going

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

I loved riding MARTA when I lived in Atlanta. It being a relatively newer system, the architecture of the stations is just marvelous. After I visited other cities, I also realized how fast MARTA goes compared to them. It's much faster than other systems. I just got back from Toronto and the subway there was super slow.

[@Ultrasun-fv5de]

Nice system I gotta say, the design is simple yet efficient and I really like the genuine rock walls in the underground stations. It's really a nice touch. And I'd recognize that R188/Green Line propulsion sound anywhere. No matter which city I never get tired of hearing that one.

[@ESPLTD322]

They should expand it to cover all of the Atlanta metro. Maybe even go out to Tallapoosa, Rome, Marietta, Conyers, Newman, etc.

[@omardiagne9185]

Cobb too

[@omecronrodneydheel349]

nope they should dissolve the marta company and get a new company that has busses that are actually on time. and don't make passengers wait a damn half hour between busses.

[@amapparatistkwabena]

Of the lines from the East Coast, I must say Atlanta's looks the best---by FAR!

State of the art, nice architecture well maintained - best looking rolling stock. And yet expansion forbidden by racist suburbs, stations surrounded by parking instead of vibrant hubs where people want to be, Soldier Girl...

[@stevenmcgillivray9283]

Cobb and Gwinett Counties, have their own Public transit system, they don't need MARTA. That boogyman racism is hanging around lol.

[@iberdeber8248]

Steven Mcgillivray A metro is a good way of getting to a city or around a city without going through traffic. I think suburbs could use MARTA metro to get to Atlanta easier and faster, and MARTA metro could expand in Atlanta instead of staying in the middle of Atlanta.

[@mingotubman3790]

Wow Atl is not playing..

[@truelife974]

MARTA was not built for the purposes of regional commute nor local commute. It's specifically for the multiple convention centers, the multi purpose arena and the football stadium. This is why all lines have the exact same origin. It's for the tourists, out of town business people and sports enthusiasts. It takes you exactly where it was designed to once you fly into the Atlanta Airport.

[@cubersanonymous5180]

Which is really unfortunate, because you can see a lot of people who are clearly locals using the subway. People without cars have to work around it somehow.

[@differentdimensions771]

i like how most of the tracks are above ground

[@Red-pt6rs]

[@user-hf3eb8lj5g]

Joseph dif dimensions? Lol what

[@yeinsonsalazar7840]

Beautiful metro. I think is the best metro of the USA

[@patrisio3]

It is 2019 and MARTA should be twice as big as it is. In 1990, Atlanta had about 40 miles of rail transit and Denver and Dallas/Ft. Worth had 0 each. Today, Atlanta has 50 miles (including streetcar) while Denver has 90 (light rail and commuter rail) and DFW has 175 (light rail, commuter rail, and streetcar). In 2023, Denver plans to have about 110 miles while DFW will have 200....Atlanta will still be at 50 (and the traffic will still be hell and getting worse).

[@norgepab2802]

Well, we will be getting 22 miles of light rail after the more Marta plan is done...

[@neiandresamuels5428]

DART in Dallas is already working on it's Second subway Downtown..it's under construction. And Dallas is getting a Bullet Train as well. Not to mention DFW will be upgrading to Metro Trains instead of Light rails

[@gacaptain]

MARTA was originally planned to be much bigger by now but politics has stopped most efforts to expand. To put it bluntly too many suburbanites have the attitude of "I don't want that train bringing ghetto Blacks out to my nice White World." and keep voting down referendums. And while Atlanta is liberal the state of Georgia is mostly run by hillbilly Republicans that don't want to spend a penny of State money on MARTA.

[@differentdimensions771]

marta always takes fucking forever, and it has always had issues expanding its reach because the further from Atlanta you go, the less taxes people wanna pay.

[@Angel_Peg]

Reminds me of New York but cleaner

[@李拓-y5v]

most faster,useful and beautiful subway in America.

[@dreamyyx_3762]

B.A.R.T, WMATA, AND MARTA is the fastest transit systems in the u.s. in speed..

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

[@humansavages832]

Transport Simulator Nation Y'all should be fighting the Gwinnett county transit system to spread out in the County instead of Marta buses to come in the County.

[@Myfavoritecuties]

Transport Simulator Nation if there was one station near my house, I’d be like “I don’t have to drive unless if wherever I go to is not close to a station.”

[@Myfavoritecuties]

Transport Simulator Nation I live in Norcross, I don’t really have to take I-85 to go to Marta, just only the cut-through roads, access roads, and ramps.

[@thebootielover]

I live in Dallas Texas now and when I lived in Atlanta for 17 years I love riding Marta. Marta system started 3 years after DC Metro and its a shame the Marta system is no where near miles of rails as the DC Metro. How was DC Metro able to convince the suburbs to get on board with rail and Marta couldn't? SMGDH. The MARTA rail system should be equally as long as the DC Metro today.

[@iberdeber8248]

B K Racism and fear. BS if you ask me

[@_antdaking]

Racism, definitely. Keep the blacks out of the suburbs smh. Atlanta will never be on par with DC as long as you have racism influencing decisions here. Definitely one thing I miss about living in DC(being able to take Metro EVERYWHERE).

Atlanta is spread, with many counties, CBD is much less populated, and there is an addiction to cars.

When attend Georgia State, I was stuck in traffic many of times communing from the airport area to downtown and then to work at VA Hospital in Decatur. Marta would have been nice to ride, but timing was not right back them because of hours of class and late hours of work. I feel that MARTA should be expanded all over the Atlanta Metropolitan Region. May God bless and cover Marta, the Atlanta metropolitan region, the State of Georgia, Our Home of the United States of America 🇺🇸 , and the Planet Earth🌏 So Help God.

Not quite the same shape, but very similar.

[@atlantafleamarko2982]

I was hoping to learn how to take the Marta, prices, places it takes you, places it don't, pros and cons, connections to other forms of transportation like bus and cab stops, maybe some shopping areas and good places to live and work that are close and/or accessible to Marta stations. No harm meant you made a great video but there is so much more info you could be added for the viewers. I'm new to Atlanta and I'm finding it hard to get around and meet people.

[@rbmk1000]

I agree the coaches are cool. However the whole MARTA in itself is far from modern, developed or convenient to use. Some European cities with a fraction of the metro Atlanta population have way more functional, clean, etc. systems. It's a shame

[@DaCrolla]

It’s definitely convenient to use Marta here in Atl. They provide buses for transportation all throughout the city and train routes that stem to North, South, East, and West Atl. Always beats traffic during busy hours too

[@ejdsndnj]

those aren't coaches lol they are railcars

[@stevenmcgillivray9283]

People don't want Gwinett and Cobb County bus stops to look like shit like most MARTA stations and bus stops look like, People throw their trash on the ground, when there's cans nearby.

It’s not a subway if it goes above ground at certain stops, that’s like Bart in the Bay Area calling it self a subway when nobody out there call it that

[@differentdimensions771]

The MARTA trains go above ground in the areas that are less densely populated because of the underground granite they would have to drill through otherwise

[@ShenardL]

Um every subway I've ridden in the world goes above ground at certain spots. Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, Toronto, DC, Tokyo, London, Paris, Rome, Seoul. These all had above ground.

Lol, does it matter that MARTA is faster than the MTA in the NYC??? I mean MARTA doesn’t really take you anywhere, there aren’t that many stops, there aren’t that many underground tunnels to take you through the city, etc. I mean NYC MTA subway cars beats having to rely on MARTA or any ATL public transportation for that matter! Comparing MTA to MARTA’s speed is hilariously pathetic and ridiculous!

[@justiceforall1288]

It seems a lot of KZbinrs are afraid to make a video about the real MARTA experience. The type of experience that happens on a day-to-day basis. Like there are a lot of crazies and homeless folk that you see, even "able bodied millennials" begging for money." What about the arguments and fights and the ratchet behavior that goes on? Unruly kids that the unfit parent don't care to control with the long ass stretch limo baby strollers that takes up space, the bad-mouth cursing, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. Also, when your train is labeled a Doraville Train, yet you end up in North Springs because the train operator fails to tell it's riders (the customers). Or they don't change the sign. There are a lot of people who are moving to Atlanta and says they STILL won't take MARTA! It Sucks... "Hands DOWN!!"

It is stumping the growth of the city. The surrounding suburbs hold the majority of Atlanta's population, and because of the vast urban sprawl, traffic is Atlanta is the 8th worst in the world. The only solution to traffic is attractive public transit. The boomers in Gwinnett and Cobb can enjoy their two hour long commutes. Not everyone is 'crying' racism. That is the loud minority.
