The Stingerettes were very helpful to me when going from my house in
Home Park to the Midtown Marta carrying luggage.  I wouldn't want to
walk all that way with a big heavy suitcase and carry-on.  Also, I
often use the Stingerette when it's raining.  Finally, while I feel
pretty safe walking around campus at all hours, some folks don't, and
that's the purpose of the Stingerette -- security escort.
