East Side Beltline street car extension is:
Fully funded
Shovel ready
Approved by voters
Along an already developed area
The Southside beltline is:
None of those things
Why in the world wouldn't we start building out the east side extension except for political reasons?
New MARTA trip planner and tracker is live at https://tracker.itsmarta.com! It is based on OpenTripPlanner.
I finally figured out how to do the mobile tap and go with the breeze app and its actually pretty nice. You just tap your phone on the bottom screen and it works a lot better than scanning the code.
The GA State MARTA station was packed when we left the rally at the capitol. A lot of people riding who were obviously not used to it.
A guy played the ukulele and got the whole train to sing "This Land is My Land".
Public transit is freedom
MARTA is doing a popup merch stand at the 404 Festival in Piedmont Park today.

I thought this was a simple ask. I just wanted a file manager app on #macOS that had an integrated terminal that synced with the folder view above, just like Dolphin in #KDE Plasma.
After I tried the following suggestions, I've given up.
* Commander One
* Spacedrive
* Forklift (v3 and v4)
* Nimble Commander
* muCommander
None of them offer this simple yet super useful feature.
#Marta is the closest I've found, but its file-based configuration is quite limited. It doesn't even have an icon view.
I'm starting to regret my decision to accept my manager's request to switch from Linux to macOS for my work.
Atlanta Transit enthusiasts, I have created a calendar of Atlanta transit events you can subscribe to on the MARTA Army website: https://www.martaarmy.org/transit-events
Any tips welcome!
Lots of canceled buses on MARTA right now. No service at all on route 816. Very disappointed.
Many Atlanta transit fans think that Mayor Dickens is no transit fan unlike what he claims. His speech at the MARTA board meeting earlier today was seen by many as a victory of NIMBY groups and putting most expansion projects on hold forever.
Hey Atlanta Transit fans, on Wednesday 6pm, come to the Let's Talk Transit happy hour at Buckhead Pizza Co by MARTA Army, Sierra Club GA, ThreadATL and Beltline Rail Now! https://act.sierraclub.org/events/details?formcampaignid=701Po00000gGPvDIAW
I was discussing with two friends about the prospects of transit in the Atlanta region. They were not optimistic about completion, let alone pursuit of projects. I told them MARTA is struggling too much with their MoreMARTA projects, so it is the ATL (Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority) that has the keys to success 
, but right now they are still setting up their plans.
MARTA riding experience today: Missed the 816 because its real-time position wasn't listed in the apps. Many homeless on the train. New bus signage at North Avenue Station. Short transfer to the 102, and a 25 min walk to Morningside. (The 27 and 36 did not seem to have buses positioned to leave around 6:40pm.)
