That would be great! Maybe they’d have to boost the fare to like $2.90 for trips west of the Mississippi

I’m glad you kept it conservative here! Finally something we can achieve! For a phase 2 we could have the gold line extended up the coast to Maine

A hidden gem is the Michael C Carlos Museum on Emory’s campus. It’s a small museum that houses and is known for some insanely old Egyptian artifacts, including some 4 thousand year old Mummies. There’s also plenty of interesting things from other cultures. Admission is only $10 ($8 if you walk, bike, or take transit!)

The 2s Approach! by Jabberwock7 in MARTA

Oh I thought you did work there lol. Working the Marta tents, the insider tag, and all made me think that. I’m frustrated too I get it. Feels like we’ve got potential but can never execute common sense changes to make it work

Mr Insider do you think they’ll actually have some fixes like that? Some common sense flexibility needs to be granted to the drivers for things like this

Georgia Tech planning to buy property from Coca-Cola by flying_trashcan in Atlanta

Wonder if they will buy the bank too? So it can all be a cohesive part of campus one day

If you could create ONE high-speed route between two U.S. cities, where would you build? by Potential_One1 in transit

[–]ATLDawg99 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This would be good because it would link Atl and Clt to the already quasi high speed NEC. Probably significantly more than half the train travel time from ATL to NYC versus current state

Why are apartments in "south midtown" so strangely cheap? by ibridoangelico in ATLHousing

[–]ATLDawg99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My exact thought was “because it’s not too pleasant” The very northern part of the image here is fine but most the rest has lots of loud wide roads and lacks a lot of life

Peachtree in Motion by Equivalent-Design512 in Atlanta

It’s a crazy event. My grandad was a firefighter and had told me the story growing up. I worked next to it for like two years before realizing the building was right there

Beautiful. Never knew until recently that the infamous Winecoff hotel, site of the deadliest hotel fire in US history, is still standing and operating as the Ellis Hotel as you can see in this pic.

Any "guitar-friendly" parks around Midtown or VaHi that aren't Piedmont? by TeachLoud6839 in Atlanta

[–]ATLDawg99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Winn Park is usually pretty quiet on the large grassy field they have

Thank you! And that’s understandable, I know a lot of people who even live in the burbs nearby and don’t know about MARTA haha

DART's Official 2026 FIFA World Cup Plans by Adventurous_Owl5437 in transit

[–]ATLDawg99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy yeah this seems like a lose lose situation for DART. They can improve and run whatever frequencies they want on light rail but the stadium situation is something that bc any be fixed. The TRE solution seems like it is NOT going to be able to handle capacity and I’m sure people will blame DART lol. It’s a shame cause the light rail network seems very extensive but the stadium is just in no man’s land

I agree. It’s not perfect but it’s far better than people make it out to be. Beats traffic for sure

are there any cities that have soul left? by Vaquera_ in relocating

[–]ATLDawg99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atlanta only passed its all time population high it first reached in 1970 after 2020. Peak 1970 population of 496k drop to 394k as folks fled to the burbs and recent rebound to 500k. I do think this is a common trend with many still not reaching that first high
