hahaha@ Transit stations being loosely counted as 'tourist sites'.

What a farce, and the author even admits in the comment section that the results were controversial.

Sometimes I think that online rankings are run by interns.

Yeah I don't think the train stations should be listed. It's like when people say Atlanta is one of the most visited cities in America...I say "well no f**king sh*t! it has the busiest airport in the world!". lol people passing through shouldn't count as tourists

......And why shouldn't they be counted? If people spend money at the Atlanta tourist attractions and stay in the city's hotels, they are tourist whether you like it or not. Understand the definition of a tourist before posting B.S:

(tourist - definition of tourist by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.)
tourist [ˈtʊərɪst]
n 1. a. a person who travels for pleasure, usually sightseeing and staying in hotels
b. (as modifier) tourist attractions

2. a person on an excursion or sightseeing tour
