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 where it will pick back up...and at
Snellville/Lawrenceville, you could get a high speed rail line to Athens...
Just my $.02--we know it will never happen...too much red tape and
construction takes way too long...
