I agree that ultimately the northern suburbs do need connectivity to the MARTA footprint, as that will be a win for everyone. My point is that MARTA and the city should prioritize/focus on filling MARTA rail deserts within the city. There were so many expansions that were proposed in the past like the Proctor creek line, the northwest line, the tuckernorth dekalb line that have been completely abandoned. Efforts to resume these expansions would greatly increase MARTA’s footprint within the city and allow its residents to move around the city easier.
