If we can get a discount for students or for GT as an organization (volume 
discountor something) that is great.  It allows another option for those who 
can and want to use MARTA.  

I believe the negative arguments are from people who do not wish to pay 
additional transportation or parking fees in order to help subsidize a 
discount for a service that is not available in their area or does not fit 
their lifestyle.  This is a valid argument in my opinion.
