Friendly debate about Beltline rail between the the group advocating for it (Beltline Rail Now) and against it (I've forgotten their name... doesn't really matter).
You can read the transcript or watch the video. Or ignore it and just build the train.

Mayor @andreforatlanta said "We do not have support for MARTA nor will we have support for the Beltline...it’s all in the fare box""
Where is the fare box recovery for this $24M?

SCOOP: The City of Atlanta is investing $24 million into resurfacing Atlanta’s streets in the next 9 months.
That includes $12 million approved last year by the City Council.
This $$ will also go to sidewalks & ensuring more streets are ADA compliant.

The story of the Atlanta Streetcar's ridership is one largely of service cuts and a bad fare system. The data bears this out.
Not to say we shouldn't improve land use, but neither should we let land use mask actionable changes that could have much more immediate impact.

There are seven light-rail systems in the U.S. with coverage of less than three miles, including the Atlanta Streetcar.
None of them had ridership anywhere near as low as ATL's in 2023.
Makes you wonder if the sad land-use around much of the Atlanta Streetcar plays a role.

The trail is great, but transit makes the @AtlantaBeltLine for EVERYONE... thanks @DougShip @DougShipman4Atl
Strong momentum to complete the @AtlantaBeltLine
Let’s remember the BeltLine won’t be complete without transit that moves people through our city and provides affordability and mobility
