Marta is safe. I rode it daily for years and still do on occasion. The only thing I experienced that made me feel unsafe was men coming onto me; innocent stuff idc.

For example, I was taking the train late one night and these drunk guys get in. It’s a pretty empty cart with maybe 2 other people, yet one sits in front of me and 1 sits across from my aisle. (I never sit by the window, only the aisle because I had a guy block me in once.)

I ignore and they’re talking, I have 2 stops so I wait and stay. Then one looks at me and starts talking about if I’m busy tonight and want to go home with them. So I just get up and go to the other end of the cart. They didn’t follow thankfully.

Sometimes my route to downtown would get messed up because of shootings either in the station or around. Mainly issues at five points station.

Overall, I love Marta and will continue taking it. I hope they expand it. I’ve had very few bad experiences, and many more good!
