JTA to Hire a Mass Transit Director

[stjr]

This is outstanding news considering MARTA in Atlanta is cutting service and laying off 300 workers.

Outstanding?

MARTA = Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority: Cutting 14% of workers.

JTA:  NO RAPID transit workers to cut because we don't have "rapid" transit!  And, what needs to be cut here, management, isn't likely.

Well just being positive no JTA budget cuts yet  I would like to see some bus shelters though!

MARTA= Moving all rapidly through Atlanta

JTA will promote the deadwood from within and it will be status quo.

[Timkin]

That I can agree on !

[Coolyfett]

So did they ever hire this person they needed?

[tufsu1]

not yet

[Timkin]

The person they need is Ock.  but they probably would not hire him because he would make a working system out of JTA.  God Forbid!
