MARTA's Safety Slide (tax dollars at work)
YouTube / MARTA ^ | Nov 9, 2012

Posted on 04/08/2013 4:37:48 PM PDT by Pan_Yan

So I'm sitting on the train today (with a bunch of Louisville fans, I guess the people from Michigan got closer hotels) and the little televisions on the train kept playing the same video over and over. After getting over the initial shock that the televisions on the train actually worked (thanks to a couple hundred million in renovations) I became fascinated in a slow motion wreck sort of way. Anyway, on a sad day like this I thought I'd share a bit of distraction. For maximum benefit mute the volume because of course there is none on the trains. After hearing the song that goes with the video you might decide it's a prudent choice.

Note: In a city with three major sports franchises they got their cheerleader from the Atlanta Dream, the WNBA team.

This is surprising to me.

I would have expected Bloomberg anti-gun commercials, Organizing for America funding appeals, and MooseChelle Obama tips on healthy grub and exercise.

I’ll check but I’m pretty sure I’m not African. Oh, and it wasn’t very rapid.

Does that lend anything to the conversation?

It’s an ancient inside joke in the transit industry.

Chicago’s CTA = “Chicago Transit Atrocity” and “Can’t Transport Anybody”, among others.

I knew the meaning. But it isn’t constructive to drag it up.
