This is feedback for everyone and for the MARTA parking garage. We took MARTA from Lindbergh to the NFC Championship game. This station has several advantages for getting downtown; (1) free parking, (2) close proximity to downtown, and (3) you get twice the trains coming through here due to the Blue and Red lines sharing this track.
Unfortunately, the public parking deck was a huge disappointment. After returning from the NFC Championship Game (and evading the traffic that comes with it), we arrived back at Lindbergh to pickup our car in great time. We did not forget to validate our parking ticket in MARTA so that the cost to park was free.
Unfortunately, there must have been at least 50 cars queued up inside the parking the deck waiting in line to get out. There was 1 station attendant working to let us out, one by one, 30 seconds to 2 minutes per car. We were out of traffic, paid up, in the clear, and stuck in the parking garage for 20 minutes.
Once we were out, the traffic light at the station and Piedmont, for whatever reason, does not cycle to our side of the street. So we must wait another 5 minutes or whatever to get out.
If you are looking to use Lindbergh station MARTA to get to major events downtown, think again. Brookhaven MARTA is probably a better option until the folks running the Lindbergh station can rethinkg their parking model and improve the efficiency and flow of traffic into and out of this station's parking garage.
