Considering the amount of sprawl in the area, I looked to San Francisco's BART system for inspiration for my map. Some of my lines are unusually long, so I needed motivation. Like Born 2 Roll said, the lines going into Gwinnett and Clayton, in my opinion especially Gwinnett, might be (should be) upgraded to regional heavy rail lines, almost like BART's system outside of SF and Oakland.

After Far too much effort expended, here it is! (Imgur Link for the full set) Shown are:

1) The fixed original 'All Current Expansions' Map.


2) Full-on Fantasy Map with Gwinnett and Cobb in the service. There is a line going into Cobb (either LRT or HRT, not sure which it could be), a HRT line going across the top of the Perimeter, a Gold Line extension into Gwinnett. Commuter rail is greatly expanded, including a new line into South Fulton and two into Gwinnett.


3) Slight more realistic. Includes all current expansions as well as expanded commuter rail options. No Cobb, just Gwinnett, Clayton, and South Fulton.


4) Double-decker commuter car in MARTA colors.


5) Commuter engine in MARTA colors.


6) Full train in MARTA colors.

LOL. If ONLY Gwinnett and Wesley Chapel (not Chapel) were spelled correctly.

I'll never understand why such a name which is seen so frequently is STILL misspelled so often.

G-W-I-N-N-E-T-T - It's not hard. 2 n's, 2 t's.


Ugh.. Okay. Rant over.


Otherwise, yes, GREAT designs. Very nice.
