## Caption

Atlanta used to have one of the biggest streetcar systems in the country, moving 154 million people a year. 

By the 1970s, MARTA was supposed to be the South’s version of DC’s Metro, but decades of political gridlock and lack of funding left the city stuck. 

In Atlanta, 77% of people commute by car, even as cities around the world are experimenting with hyperloops, ferries, and air taxis. With the 2026 World Cup coming and light rail plans possibly in the work, Atlanta is at a crossroads. 

Can the city finally catch up?
