Imagine one that goes from Avondale to Stone Mountain and Conyers, or one that goes to six flags. It seems like it would be a more pleasant experience than having to ride a train down the interstate. We do need transit solutions for people getting across town but maybe the pro-BRT people are right about that being more cost effective. Save the train $$$ for rides that people will actually enjoy.
