At Monday’s meeting at the Center for the Visually Impaired, several MARTA riders shared stories of times they were left lost and frustrated after stations or bus lines changed without notice.

In the past few months, MARTA has launched a massive public outreach campaign to get more input on the More MARTA plan — the city’s biggest transit investment in history.

Representatives say they want to get as many opinions as possible before board members vote on the plan in October.

The current proposal would add 21 miles of light rail to the city and expand bus services, and there’s been some debate over where the light rail should be put.
