How will they go about expanding the system? Working underneath a city that has bad traffic on a good day, dont even hold your breath for and upgrade. IMO a city's rail system is supposed to be built first and then you expand to accomdate population boom, not the other way around.
True, but if the city spent some money on Marta instead of constantly upgrading the highways, it would essentially kill two birds with one stone - alleviate highway traffic and decrease pollution significantly.

Like Ahmonrah said, most of the counties that didn't want Marta here have their own public transportation (like CCT here in Cobb) that actually connect with Marta anyways.

Ironchef, how would replacing people in those positions help?

turbosx, why do you think we need to remove people?
