Transit happenstance

7 May

From the Briarcliff Plaza parking lot, I witnessed one of the most beautiful urban moments I’ve ever seen in Atlanta: an eastbound #2 MARTA bus, a westbound #2, a northbound #16, and a southbound #16, all waiting first in line at their respective red traffic lights at Ponce and North Highland.

There must be a German word, or Baltimore slang, for when this happens!

    That is great! Did you take a picture?

      It would have only cheapened the moment! My Samsung camera phone can’t capture serendipity!

    And I bet between all those buses there was maybe a total of 12 customers actually riding.
