I rank MARTA pretty low compared to other cities. Cleveland’s Rapid (RTA) ranks quite a bit higher than Atlanta’s MARTA to me. However, my city has zero light rail, so I’m still a bit envious of MARTA. As shit as it is, what is more shit is nothing except city busses.
The MARTA line at the airport is heavy rail. You’re right not to rank it that high because there are basically only two main heavy rail lines (with a couple of spurs) so there are a lot of places it doesn’t go, but for the places it does go, it gets there just as fast as any other real subway.
