It's fine, just sheltered people being dramatic

I was on a project there for a year. Always took Marta to buckhead. Was safe and much easier than dealing with Atlanta traffic.

That's not true^. Uber is cheap but not $2.50 cheap. I've also been noticing surge pricing more often at the airport

like

Marta is actually really nice. Especially from the airport. You don't have anything to worry about. I was on a project there and we didn't even rent cars.

Hell to the no unless you wanna get shot

I hate Marta, I live here and have seen someone OD on it, saw a homeless man dead on one of the ghetto stops, have had other homeless men try to grab my suitcase and it broke down once and I was stuck on it for 2.5 hours. With that said, I no longer ride Marta.

There will be some seriously sketchy characters, and they may interact with you but in general it's safe. Just be smart and aware

You'll be fine. MARTA is safe. If you're worried, just get in the front car behind the driver.

The first 2 opinions had to be conflicting 😳😂

Marta is amazing! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4D-yvE5y0go

Agreed with D2. Marta is generally safe. I've taken it numerous times....

Marta sucks as a tool for transportation but it's both clean and safe.

Lived in Atlanta for more than 20 years, Marta may be sketchy at some of the random atl stops, but if you aren't getting off there...you are fine.

I take it all the time... great for avoiding traffic. I feel comfortable using it anytime, but I wouldn't want to be a woman using it past 9 ish at night ... heading north from airport it will only get safer the further north you go as a generalized rule of thumb

Uber is super cheap in Atlanta if you stay in the perimeter. Depending on where you're going it's the same price as a one way trip on Marta

I've gotten Ubers for $1.50-2.00 so maybe it's just my luck

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…
