tomorrow, folks in atlanta who rely on public transportation are facing a huge blow. marta (metropolitan atlanta rapid transit authority) service has always been spotty and unreliable at best. it can’t even begin to compete with bart in san francisco or the t in boston but it was what atlanta had to offer and a lot of people made due. but on april 20th, buses and trains that are going to be scrapped will be marked for elimination. facing a $120 million dollar deficit and a lack of state aid, marta will cut service. who will lose their job as the result of a lack of reliable transportation?  which communities will be cut off from services? atlanta’s unmitigated onslaught on the poor pretty much answers those and a myriad of other questions.
