CEO of Atlanta MARTA commits suicide by jumping in front of train

[Rozay Oro]

There’s gotta be a neg train reference at the helm.

Here comes the NEGGGGGG!!!!!

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Now the person driving the train will forever be traumatized.

This is what happens when you drain cities of resources for public transit.

Blame the CAC governor who stole the election from Stacy Abrams.

There’s a deep history to this.

And yes, it’s incredibly anti-black.

I know the issues with MARTAS expansion has to do with racism but when I saw your post I thought you were trying to say that ATL is wasting resources on expanding it.

Nah just the opposite. It’s criminally underfunded.

I’m sure that position was hell on earth, relatively of course. So I can kinda empathize with the CEO, but then again it could’ve been handled much better.

This is overblown as hell. I’m sure there is racism involved, being that this is America and everything racist in nature and scope. However, it’s truly not that serious. Atlanta is a city where they probably never gonna fully embrace Marta. I believe the last time they tried to expand it to Gwinnett, the residents simply voted no. The shyt came on the ballot and the people rejected it.

I live in Atlanta, and for real, the Marta not being expanded ain’t stopping shyt. Atlanta residents do not and will not depend on Marta fully for transportation. Just not that type of city. This not a NY or Chicago. nikkas not getting rid of they cars to ride Marta down here. The very thought would be preposterous. And this is coming from a nikka who got rid of his car lol. But I’m a city nikka and grew up in Chicago taking train everywhere. I Uber and Marta everywhere. But I live a very different lifestyle than the average Atlanta person, even someone in the city. Plus, I’m cool as fukk. nikkas simply can’t be like me.

I got a spot downtown. Right off the Marta. I got a spot in Chamblee. Right off the Marta line. That’s how you use marta in Atlanta if you wanna depend on it. Get your spots right off the Marta line. But everyone can’t be like me and have multiple spots in the city and shyt

Have you considered that they do not depend on Marta out of necessity?

And culturally, the reason why the very thought is preposterous is due to the way the city was literally constructed for cars by automotive lobbyists? And heavily invested in by the automotive industry for damn near a century?

Now on the flip side, have you considered how fully functioning, expansive, public transportation system is not only a threat to the very essence of the logistics of Atlanta?

But also a threat to the current power structure, wherein underserved working black populations would benefit immensely? Especially from the context of some CAC power broker coming off of the Jim Crow era?

You know, to the detriment of the racist CACS who run the state of Georgia and keep those same populations in a state of destitute and working poverty?

You sound like you get all your done philosophies from books. This the south. They don’t rock with a public transportation like that in general. It’s a regional thing. It will always be more of a novelty than something a large part of the city depending on for they main way of commuting. They can expand that mothafukka to literally go to every street in Atlanta. Mothafukkas still not gonna fukk with it like that. Some would of course; but I’m speaking in general. I live in Atlanta. Im not reading stats and books. nikka I live here.

i have to be in Atlanta a couple times a year and I center my hotel/Airbnb around access to MARTA. Def only using Marta to get back and forth to the airport using Uber when I must but that is a crap shoot with as bad as traffic gets. If it wasn’t for MARTA, Atlanta would be unbearable

It’s not that type of city because of bad planners and America building a car dependent country. Expand the MARTA today and watch every new born ATL citizen get accustomed to it by the time they reached adult hood. People are moving to the urban cities all over the world because of easy access and not having to use a car for every little deed.


Having a train next in a neighborhood literally makes property values rise and also has a correlation to people saving tons of money.

@Double Burger With Cheese what do you mean no? Literally everything I said is a FACT and backed up by data.

You sound like you get all your done philosophies from books. This the south. They don’t rock with a public transportation like that in general. It’s a regional thing. It will always be more of a novelty than something a large part of the city depending on for they main way of commuting. They can expand that mothafukka to literally go to every street in Atlanta. Mothafukkas still not gonna fukk with it like that. Some would of course; but I’m speaking in general. I live in Atlanta. Im not reading stats and books. nikka I live here.

Yeah you live in Atlanta. No one is denying that.

But you live in that culture right now.

That culture has its roots, there’s an entire history on how it came to be. Public transportation didn’t magically just become shytty. The same way people didn’t just magically fukk with cars.

You think nikkas on horses in the early 1900s was just thinking “damn if only I had a hellcat on 20s right now, fukk this slow ass horse, I’d get bytches too imagine being the only nikka out here with a hellcat”

These ideas were created and pushed to the masses on virtually every level. And the lack of a developed expansive public transportation hub is a huge reason why today the entire south, not only Atlanta but the entire South, is incredibly poor and underdeveloped relative to where it should be.

This shyt is important because it doesn't have to be that way.

Mfers would prolly shoot you back in the day if you were walking around talking about mythical ass hunks of metal more powerful than 400 horses combined.

It’s not a regional thing. It’s an American thing. What’s the difference between the south and people who live in Connecticut or Upstate NY who are also car dependent?
