@atlantanewsfirst: Remember when MARTA trains and buses actually showed up on time during the World Cup? Riders sure do, and they want it back. A month after the tournament ended, riders say wait times have stretched well past posted arrival estimates, with some saying buses on routes 83 and 84 left them standing in triple-digit heat for over an hour. They also say the heavy police presence from the World Cup has all but disappeared. MARTA has apologized for the delays and says the CEO has committed to growing the police force over the next two years. #MARTA #Atlanta #PublicTransit #WorldCup #Georgia #AtlantaTransit #GeorgiaNews

Yet TODAY mayor Andre Dickens complains that the DNC isn’t supporting Atlanta by NOT coming here & the city has shown during World Cup weekend are prepared 😏 yet the REALITY is the city doesn’t care about its ACTUAL CITIZENS.

The city was paying the officers Double time to work those World Cup Hours. Atlanta has to increase their budget by quite a bit to get the level of service that “International Guests” get.

Marta is fundamental at this point with the traffic issue. This needs to be top priority now, and expanding it. I think it’s TIME. We are too populated to be without transit transportation.

Don’t complain when them taxes go up- if they had other states covering that means they can’t afford to pay twelve at that level. Js.

I 100% agree! I take Marta three times per week and you could see the absolute decline as soon as World Cup was over. Lack of security, some train cars not even having functioning air conditioning, homeless people being aggressive on trains. It is absolutely ridiculous and an absolute joke how quickly things changed.
