No curves, that's kind of the joke of the MARTA system. I only has two
lines, one East and West and another North and South. And they wonder why
the system is so unused...it really needs to have stops at places people
want to go for them to want to use it. (it does go to the airport and that
is nice)

| Yeah, I've been saying for the longest time that MARTA needs to go from hub and spoke system to a series of loops... imagine MARTA's east line runing up to Stone Mountain, out to Snellville/Lawrenceville, to Duluth, then right along 85 to Doraville (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
