Crews have started painting bright red "bus only" lanes throughout Downtown along the route of the Rapid A Line, MARTA's first bus-rapid transit project.
Zoom in: What sets apart the A Line, the first phase of which is scheduled to launch on April 18, is the fact that the vehicle travels in its own lane.
