I kind of see where the people are coming from. The first one understands that trains are good but doesn't understand how high speed rail works nor how rapid transit works. The second person might have mixed up MARTA with the Atlanta Streetcar, which is cute but is very much at the whims of traffic, owing to how poorly new streetcar "systems" (read: one streetcar line in mixed traffic as a handout to real estate developers to gentrify downtowns) are built in America.
I can get behind this. This is actually Brightline east's policy with their not grade-separated crossings. I think they've flexed on over 100 cars and counting so far.

They should make all street cars into supersonic bullet trains. Didn't get out of the way fast enough? Too bad, you are now a diffuse cloud of matter.

lmao get owned
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
according to the article you linked MARTA owns and controls the streetcar. That might be the source of the confusion.
yeah that makes sense
