Just walked through the Decatur MARTA station, where both entrances are still wide open, and there’s no visible police or staff presence.
What’s exceptional about MARTA — and it’s been like this for years — is that the stations often have no uniformed presence at all. Passengers are the only people there.
In other systems, such as WMATA, there’s at least a transit employee in a booth by the fare gates.
Where are the MARTA employees? In offices? I rarely see anyone at all.
