It's especially maddening because 8th, 22nd, and College all operate well below their vehicle capacity at least 90% of the time. I would be so easy to throw dedicated lanes on those corridors.
Atlanta's transit authority is currently trying to sway public opinion for some new BRT projects. The public wants rails, while MARTA wants to save money.
Anyways, MARTA has released a number of YouTube videos about how other cities have implemented BRT:
-
SanFran
-
Houston
-
Indy
If you watch those videos you'll see how different S'toon's "BRT" is from true BRT.
