The map needs to show frequent buses (15 min or less) and future BRT routes. Not just rail. Make the frequent bus routes and extension of rail. I feel that many riders do not ride buses because they don't know the routes w/o extensive research.

New marta system map just dropped. It's a huge improvement in legibility, but with two flaws: 1. The Sweet Auburn Market Streetcar stop (top left) is missing 2. Unlike other systems maps that preview future expansions, it does not have the future Rapid A BRT!

How would @alexip718.com fix Atlanta? Immigrants pay taxes, work hard, send their kids to public schools, and build better futures for their communities. It's time to let them vote in local elections as well. how-id-fix-atlanta.ghost.io/how-alex-ip-...

Okay so we have the Stadler CQ400, but where’s the Waldorf CQ400

quoting with alt text

The experience of being a pedestrian on Atlanta streets -- especially ones that connect to MARTA -- needs a lot of work. But when I'm riding the train, I get to take a break from those issues and just enjoy the view. Atlanta looks great from a train window.

This is a CQ400 stan account. These trains are sooooo sleek and advanced, and I'm proud that my city is rolling them out (pun intended)

Whether you want a budget-friendly way to the airport for break or some fun excursions while campus is quiet, you can take MARTA to get around Atlanta. Check out some of the top locations for your next trip and wherever MARTA takes you, safe travels, Eagles!

Peachtree Street this evening, as seen from the window of an in-motion MARTA bus. I love looking at the city from a bus window, especially at night. Atlanta needs to fall in love with buses, IMO. That's a recipe for urban success.

The #TransitDog of the day is Pearl, who is resting her head on a MARTA bus body pillow.💜

Atlanta will now be home to a 12-foot-statue of Kermit the Frog dressed as Charlie Chaplin. It will be outside the Center for Puppetry Arts in Midtown www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

WOW: Jayden Williams, a 22-year-old recent graduate of Clark Atlanta University, just defeated the incumbent Mayor of Stockbridge, Ga., a southeastern Atlanta suburb of nearly 30,000 reisdents, to become the city's youngest-ever mayor! www.fox5atlanta.com/election/geo...

All of DeKalb County has reported in. Malhotra took the county by 5,024 votes. Marci Collier Overstreet leads by 7,831 in Fulton County, with 50/180 precincts partially reported.

At City Council President candidate Rohit Malhotra’s election night party, Malhotra called the results “neck and neck” around 11:30 p.m.

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

50k more votes to go, and Overstreet and Rohit are tied, after Overstreet had the earlier advantage.

I was at Manuel’s Tavern tonight and when Mamdani was announced as the winner the people erupted like it was game 7 of the World Series when this was announced

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia. That seems...significant.

Incumbent Andre Dickens wins his reelection for Atlanta’s mayor. He said tackling income inequality and building another 10,000 affordable housing units are top priorities for his second term. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/atlanta-mayo...

We’ll be live in one hour (at 7:00 p.m.) with our Election Day livestream! www.youtube.com/live/pwP9UIk...

Decision Desk has called the Georgia PSC race for the Democratic candidates. The polls have been closed for 45 minutes. That's a drubbing.

Georgia: Here's the result link for today's statewide special election for the Public Service Commission, as well as most local races.

If you take MARTA to your Halloween festivities tonight, you have atlyimby to thank for sending an email to MARTA’s CEO asking them not to single track on Halloween 😅 www.instagram.com/reel/DQcetva...

INBOX: Atlanta-based Southern Co., the parent of Georgia Power, saw profits climb 11.5% in the third quarter compared to the same period last year, the utility and energy conglomerate announced Thursday. Election Day for two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission is this upcoming Tuesday.

Wow: @ajc.com's Lautaro Grinspan reports that in just one week in October, ICE spent nearly $950,000 on ads in Atlanta — more spending than in any other U.S. city. That amount would've been enough to provide SNAP benefits for over 20,000 Atlantans every month.

Great news!

How would @marisapk.bsky.social fix Atlanta? Clean water is not simply a human right. It's a public good that we must provide and maintain as we continue to design our city for inclusivity. ATL is thirsty. Let's bring back water fountains. how-id-fix-atlanta.ghost.io/how-marisa-p...

Add Clark Atlanta... and out of precaution, Spelman is also doing a shelter im place. #HBCUs

MARTA’s NextGen Bus Network Redesign will no longer go into effect in 2025, according to Atlanta News First. www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/09/09/a...

BREAKING: The @ajc.com on Thursday said it plans to end its printed edition at the end of this year, accelerating its digital transformation amid a rapidly evolving media landscape. The final print edition will appear Dec. 31, a Wednesday. www.ajc.com/business/202...

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Yikes!!

MARTA is posting copaganda:(

First time seeing a passenger workout while riding MARTA. Someone is using resistance bands on the train. Taking transit allows people to do ANYTHING else other than driving.

I am not kidding when I say I would die for a MARTA bus driver

It’s still hilarious to me that MARTA special weekend schedules means they’re running heavy rail metro trains less frequently than my local bus lines

BREAKING: The marta board is appointing its Chief Legal Counsel, Jonathan Hunt as interim GM and CEO, effective immediately

MARTA’s board picked an interim CEO, and a committee that will advise him, after a month-long process that apparently included four secret search committee meetings: www.ajc.com/news/2025/08...

My new bus system is integrated with the Transit app and it’s fantastic. I wish MARTA would do that! I know MARTA is developing a new app though
