ITSMARTA(.com)!!!!!!
You heard it here first. MARTA is behind all of this shit. The collapse of I-85. The chemical spill that crippled the Connector. The seismic buckling of I-20. It’s MARTA!
Coincidentally, MARTA riders would avoid the entirety of the chemical spill, as well as the smoldering remains of I-85. Coincidentally anyone traveling westbound of I-20 would avoid the giant fisting the road decided to give motorists, if they rode MARTA from Indian Creek station into the city instead of driving.
It just seems a little too coincidental that all these highway maladies are occurring in areas where MARTA would make too much of a logical alternative.
Keith Parker is a diabolical son of a bitch, but this guy right here is one step ahead of you at seeing through your transparent guerilla methods of trying to force increased ridership. Apps, slogans and “riding with respect” only got so much faith back into MARTA, but once he hit the wall, he’s been forced to bring out the big guns. Literally, by destroying strategic parts of the Metro Atlanta highway system, and then conveniently waiting in the wings to provide this alternative means of transportation, behind his friendly demeanor and sharply dressed image.
I predict in coming months, when more MARTA violence continues to stunt and send back ridership increase, there will be another road collapse/buckle/sinkhole on either I-85 in Hapeville, or on GA-400 in Dunwoody. Perhaps both, depending on how tepid the first one might turn out to be for increased ridership. Both locations are massive arteries for motorists, and both of them are conveniently coincidentally MARTA routes. And nothing would be more disastrous for Atlantans than choking out a route to Hartsfield-Latoya-Jackson-Ching-Chong Airport.
Laugh all you want at my seemingly fantastical conspiracy theories, but if one or both of these happen in coming months, it might not be so funny, and something might actually seem really, really fishy.
But until then, all jokes aside, I can’t imagine that it’s the least bit pleasant going into the office for those who work for the Georgia Department of Transportation. The timing of all this seems like a downward spiral of failure and the poorly time exposure of the lack of infrastructure, mass corruption, and shortcuts taken by those responsible for the roads, and no conspiracy theory here, but there are very likely going to be some heads rolling in coming weeks, because someone needs to be held accountable for this shit.
