[Attendee] MARTA issues

Thu Feb 13 12:09:56 UTC 2014

I did manage to leave yesterday (one of the few flights that did make it out).

Marta was passable during the daytime.  I left about noon for a 2pm flight (it was delayed by a bit, but did leave).

It took quite some time to get down to the airport as they were on weekend schedule, and they had to switch us to another train that was running southbound on the north side of the tracks 2 stops away from the airport.

I would plan for 3-4x the travel time as they were on weekend schedules as well.

It took me about 1 hour 20 mins to reach the airport.

Aside: If you haven’t signed up for the TSA PreCheck, they have an on-site interview location in Terminal A.
