Posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Jun 8 06:44:00 2026, in response to I probably won't ride the train anymore, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun Jun 7 11:22:32 2026. I was on MARTA recently and felt much less at ease than on the NYC subway. On MARTA I felt like I had to really observe as many cars as possible from the outside before running to the one I wanted (though more to enjoy the ride and not so much because I feared for my life).I did notice police step in from the platform to look into the car once (in the two days I was there), but I also did notice a captain (4 stripes) in my car on the way to the airport. He looked like he did this all the time. No interest in going back to see MARTA, no matter how new the cars get. In terms of scenery, it's nothing you can't experience on, for example, the WMATA Silver Line. The most interesting thing IMO was the rock wall at Peachtree Center. NYC's no picnic, but the trains are longer, run more often, and have so many more people that an illusion of safety (real or otherwise) is formed. |
