With the passing of a momentous referendum in November, MARTA is slated to begin servicing Clayton County in 2015. Hoping to get the most out of the expansion, MARTA is working closely with the community in order to provide service where it is needed most, reports the AJC. Roughly 10,000 riders are expected to use the system in its first year, and while that may sound unimpressively low, the prospect of new rail service in the coming years should foster growth, and ultimately ridership, along the planned corridor.
