Atlanta Streetcar delayed...

[CADDguy]

I worked on the MARTA project for 35 years. We scheduled 3-6 months testing for all systems prior to revenue service. This may be a less complex system, but testing is no place to cut corners.

Ugh. Don't completely understand why several months of running w/o passengers is needed to fulfil Fed testing requirements.  Would think a week or two would be enough to test line and qualify employees.
