Atlanta, having a much smaller transit system, has (or had) what looked like an oversized airline food service cart that was moved by regular passenger service between stations. In K-Mart "Blue Light Special" fashion, it had an amber rotating light on top of a pole connected to the cart. IIRC, there were always two armed employees operating it but otherwise the whole operation seemed rather relaxed. Most stations only had kiosks to vend transit tickets. The ones with manned "Ride Stores" might have had a more secure procedure for moving cash in and out.
- dwightgunning 4y agoSeems logical to move smaller sums more frequently.
- itsmartapuntocm 4y agoMARTA does have a pair of old cars converted into a “work train”. Not sure what its purpose is though.
- Mountain_Skies 4y agoProbably useful for moving materials between stations and delivering supplies to worksites on the tracks (which they always seem to be repairing).
- itsmartapuntocm 4y agoTrue they do always seem to be doing track work. But I at least appreciate that they’re proactively doing it, rather than letting it get so bad that they have to shut the system down for months at a time like the Washington Metro.
