Closest I can get is the corner of Delk and Powers Ferry. I make it about a 10 minute walk in from there. I'll have to work out the timing later.
Can you transfer from the Marta to the CCT or do you have to pay again? Does the Visitor's pass on the Marta work on the CCT? How are they on taking bikes on the busses? Here many busses have (had?) bike racks attached to the front to allow bikers to take the bus without having to drag the bike into the bus at rush hour.

Read it after I'd posted.
I could make it from SM in, but with all the transfers, it'd be cheaper to get a cab.
I'm actually a bit stunned at how simplistic and limitted your subway is. Only 2 lines and 38 stations. To borrow a phrase from their own website "Atlanta traffic congestion is legendary, " Well, not to sound arrogant, but they could clear up that legendary congestion with a substantial investment in their underground.
But then, I'm sure it's lots easier to convince people with a real winter that warm, dry metro lines are better than slogging it out and waiting for busses.

That's exactly it. They could expand it, but they probably wouldn't get any more riders anyhow. In addition, when they do expand it, they do it stupidly. Rather than put a station 10-15 miles up Georgia 400 where it's needed, they build it 3-4 miles outside the perimeter. Well, shit, if you're gonna drive that far in, you may as well complete the trip.

Given Atlanta's crime rate, I'll stay in my car above ground if it's all the same.

Again, with the right investment, you could head that off. High mounted cameras and uniformed, armed guards/police riding the system are hard to beat. Keep the stations open plan, without little nooks and crannies, and you can see from one end to the other.

Got me to thinking.
Ask most folks in and around these parts, and they'd tell you to stay out of South Greene and you'll be fine. They might use the local phrases Rock Batter or Camp Creek or even Kelley Gap, but it's all the same area.
I live in South Greene. On Kelley Gap. I feel positively safe.
I don't correct them, though. I actually build the myth every chance I get. Keeps folks out of here. Keeps 'em in town, where they belong and where I want 'em.

Yeah. Airport itself is OK, but you don't want to go traipsing around that neighborhood. I picked up a sister-in-law once who hated to fly so much that she insisted we stop and buy some booze for the ride home at a liqour store right near the airport.
I kept reaching for a gun I wasn't carrying.

If our miracle comes through, I'll let ya know. Otherwise, sadly, we're out. Demmit.
