MARTA has delayed the new train launch that was scheduled for Thursday: www.ajc.com/news/2026/06...

Days before the World Cup begins in Atlanta, MARTA’s new railcars have not passed required safety tests, raising concerns about delays in a $707 million project.

Once again forced to explain to a cat who doesn’t understand boil advisories why I can’t turn the faucet on for her.

Spent a fun morning riding the new Rapid A-line, Atlanta’s first bus rapid transit project: www.ajc.com/news/2026/04...

You may have a different bus starting today. Look up how your route is changing ⤵️

Happy NextGen bus network launch day to all Atlantans

Please, please call or text 988 if you or someone you know is struggling. www.ajc.com/news/2026/04...

Ahead of the NextGen bus network redesign launching SATURDAY, @stephanielamm.bsky.social and I looked at 3 years of MARTA's bus cancellation data. The new network requires fewer operators and fewer buses, which should help reduce cancellation rates. 🎁link: www.ajc.com/news/2026/04...

Using the MARTA Tracker & Trip Planner, you can now set your departure time for a trip as April 18th (or later) and see what your trips will be like when the new bus system goes into effect on that date. tracker.itsmarta.com

First time I’ve seen in the wild!

Bought my new Breeze card at the Airport just now and can report that it was as easy to buy as MARTA has promised!

Yet another (93+) Wrong Way Waymo: DeKalb Ave & Krog St (Tunnel), Atlanta, GA Note the left rear door opened briefly. Many Waymo passengers in errant/stuck robots have chosen/had to get out and make their own way through traffic, construction sites, foliage, and even off a fwy. OP: x.GAFollowers

Out with the old Breeze cards, in with the new (and tap to pay, wherever new equipment has been installed - still a work in progress). Here’s a breakdown of the Better Breeze changes that start TODAY: www.ajc.com/news/2026/03... (🎁 link)

This legislation to abolish GRTA and the ATL and create “TEA” caught many by surprise yesterday: www.ajc.com/news/2026/03...

MARTA properties are home to some who have nowhere else to go. The transit agency’s case workers are trying to change that by giving unhoused passengers shelter and job help — and hope: www.ajc.com/news/2026/03...

A UGA grad who spent time at Savannah’s Hunter Army Airfield:

The steady march of the armadillo continues, unbothered by human trivialities like the North Carolina border.

CeeLo Green talks about how riding MARTA as a kid inspired the new Gnarls Barkley single "Pictures": "I would just ride the train to the furthest stop then turn around and come back. I maybe had to do it two or three times. I’d sit and talk to myself, imaginary friends." www.ajc.com/arts-enterta...

How did Seattle, the city once left in Atlanta’s dust, come to lead the nation in rail development? My colleague @mlbaruchman.bsky.social explains: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

UPDATE: @saraegregory.bsky.social got the video. That's a train filled with passengers running head-first into a tree trunk the size of a telephone pole. "'We’re lucky to be alive,' one rider says. 'Yes, we are — very lucky to be alive,' the operator replies." www.ajc.com/news/2026/02...

Still a lot we don’t know about this incident. If you were on the train, my contact info is in my bio.

When I think about measles I think about the number 1,000. Thats the number that epidemiologists use to explain harm from measles in children. With 1,000 cases, about 200 children will require hospitalization, 50 will develop pneumonia, and one to three will die. South Carolina is at 789.

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.”

JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

“.. After the shooting, an angry crowd gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them “cowards” and telling them to go home. “.. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/immi...

"All eyes have been on this project, and this project is pretty much the linchpin to a lot of other things to take place... It’s almost like a unilateral decision that was made by a few individuals on a widely watched project." - Atlanta City Council member Byron Amos www.ajc.com/news/2026/01...

Unbeknownst to the public, a small group of officials from the city of Atlanta, the Atlanta Beltline and MARTA voted to stop all work on the Eastside Beltline light rail project more than six months ago: www.ajc.com/news/2026/01...

“I’ve waited 30 years,” said a woman who filed a complaint to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein's interest in “child pornography” in 1996, about a decade before investigators began scrutinizing him. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Here at GDOT’s facility in Forest Park for a winter weather preparedness briefing ❄️

Good day to buy some books from your favorite independent bookstore. (Really always a good day to do this.)

Truly sorry to the suburbs but I’d love to see this thing shuttle Atlantans around Atlanta better

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around. Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

There's still time to send in your MARTA dream map. Here's one from a reader submitted this weekend:

should've done this 30 years ago, next best time is today:

Very excited to see what you all come up with for this: As we look at the future of MARTA, @ajc.com wants to see your MARTA dream map. Take this image, draw the rail or BRT lines you’d like to see and then send it back to us. We plan on featuring maps in future coverage: www.ajc.com/news/2025/10...
