Atlanta: MARTA
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority is the principal public transport operator in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Formed in 1971 as strictly a bus system, MARTA operates a network of bus routes linked to a rapid transit system consisting of 48 miles (77 km) of rail track with 38 train stations. It is the eighth-largest rapid transit system in the United States by ridership.
MARTA operates almost exclusively in Fulton, Clayton, and DeKalb counties, although they maintain bus service to two destinations in neighboring Cobb County (Six Flags Over Georgia and the Cumberland Transfer Center next to the Cumberland Mall). MARTA also operates a separate paratransit service for disabled customers.
As of 2014, the average total daily ridership for the system (bus and rail) was 432,900 passengers.
5 points ATL Georgia Slave Trade
Atlanta Georgia Five Points Marta Station. Kenny's Alley. Garnett Marta Station and Whitehall streets were all part of the American slave trade. There are no markers or signs in any of these places stating that this ever happened. Many black people in Atlanta who stand at 5 points have no idea a slave auction block once stood there.

MARTA Connection to the International Airport Shuttle

Providence R.I. to Atlanta, GA USA on Amtrak, March 21 & 22, 2015
These are scenes taken while traveling on Amtrak's Northeast Regional and Crescent trains. The Northeast Regional took me to New York Penn station, and the Crescent took me to Atlanta's Brookwood Station, with longer stops in Washington, D.C. (to change from one electric locomotive to two diesel-electriclocomotives) and in Charlotte N.C., to service the train.
I got some real wintertime views of the right of way at the beginning, followed by some views of New York City and other cities along the way.
At 12:55 you can see the procedure begin to uncouple the electric locomotive, and then I went inside Union Station and out the front for a quick view of the US Capitol dome, surrounded by scaffolding. By the time I returned to the train, the replacement locomotives were in place, and you can read what GE put on the side of each of them. Much of the journey on the Crescent was in the dark, but the sky brightened up just enough for some views of the final miles to Atlanta. My apologies for the focusing problems caused by the low light levels outside! You can see downtown Suwannee at 22:30, and we got to race a MARTA rapid rail train at 23:00. Ga. highway 400 can be seen at 24:06. Thanks for watching!

But what may have surprised many readers, was that not only was MARTA cited as the envy of many cities, but the Atlanta Streetcar was listed as one of the system's high-points.

History of MARTA Expansion
Hello, thanks for watching! The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA for short) is a program originally introduced in 1968, but failed. A few years later in 1971, they finally passed MARTA, but didn't begin construction until 1979.
I would like to mention a couple of things:
1- This is just rail expansion. Business deals and station expansions do not apply.
2- The rails were drawn by me, so there might be slight inaccuracy in the rails or station placement.
3- There might be some slight dating errors or some other things, so be lenient and kindly remind in the comments the accurate dates.
4- I am using the current-day names instead of the old ones for simplicity-sake.
5- I end the timeline at 2000, since no expansion of rail has been done since.
6- This is NOT an academic project, just a spare time, weekend-long activity.

Afterthoughts:
Although the video was simple, it was hard to produce. I would misunderstand a sentence and have to go back almost 30 slides to fix a single mistake and then fix all the slides after. I first messed up on the blue line, then I forgot a few stations on the red line. After all of that, I double-checked my work and finalized it. Editing was very easy. Now, it is for everyone to see.
