I lived 5 minutes by car from the Northern terminus but the nearest station to my
job was 3 miles by winding road. The only time it was of any value at all was when
I interview for my job in Connecticut. 5 Minute Drive to MARTA, 3/4 hour ride to Airport
3 Hour direct flight to Hartford, 15 minutes in rental car to Office for 2 hour interview.
return that evening for dinner. I couldn't have done that if I had to drive in Atlanta.
(But that was the only time it was worth while).

I heard this about the Atlanta subway system, but I rode it for a few stops and it didn't seem to be all that bad. Boston's subway system seemed to be used by all different types when I was up there in October.

I have a friend who left NYC and moved to Michigan and quickly put on some weight because he wasn't walking anymore. :)
