Your MARTA-riding tips, published.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With the help of a few lovely Newcomer readers, here it is: The Beginner’s Guide to MARTA.
It’s a pretty basic guide, especially considering that ridership is up 15 percent. Plenty of people tacked on tips (and the requisite sneers and grumbling) at the bottom.
Another tip I’d like to add: Consider adding MARTA police to your contacts list, just in case. The number is 404-848-4911, or #MPD on an AT&T, Verizon or Spring phone. Blackberry users can dial #673.
Feel free to add more tips here, and those for other public transit systems in the area. I’d like to get a nice guide up on the site full-time.
And remember: if you have other questions, about just about anything Atlanta-ish, leave ‘em in the comments or email me at jgumbrecht@ajc.com. We’re back to our regularly scheduled Friday Q&A this week.
