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.
    You shouldn't post until you actually know what you're posting about. Atlanta had the same form of rail system that other cities had back in the early 1900s. In fact, trolleys came into Atlanta as early as the late 1880s and ran through the 1940s. They were called trolleys and Atlanta had trolley lines back then. Know your history, dummy.
    Inman Park Trolly



    Inman Park Station



    Laying tracks in downtown



    That's just a couple of photos on the Web.

    Oh. And MARTA is well over 35 years old. Later, QD.

    Dumbass, is a trolley a subway? NO a subway travels underground not on the street and it does not have cables. A trolley system is not that hard to accomplish, know your facts buddy. SUBWAY is the key word not TROLLEY
    Since you need special attention, I meant the rail part of MARTA, I know its not 70-80 years old
