MARTA suspends bus service, warns of delays on rail
If you need to get somewhere Wednesday, MARTA may be the best ride in town.
While the transit authority has suspended bus service until further notice, the rail service has been running since about 5:30 a.m., spokesman Lyle Harris told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
If you haven't heard, Atlanta was caught off guard and the ice and 2 inches of snow resulted in huge traffic jams with some people abandoning their cars or sleeping in them overnight. This offers the MARTA rail system a chance to shine in the shadow of this disaster. .... that is, if people can get to it.

Real regional transit would have helped
As indispensable as MARTA was this week — and is every day to those of us who rely on it — the sad reality is that mass transit in its current state simply isn’t a realistic option for many area residents.
