What is a MARTA token and why is illegal to see them?
MARTA - Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority..as for it being illegal to sell them or give them away, I have no freakin clue..
A token pays your fare. Instead of actual US money. The law being invoked is similar to the Las Vegas law that prohibits using chips as cash outside of the casino. It is like the token has actual cash value when it does not, it is only a ride on the rapid transit system and you can't used it for money. I would suppose that if you could sell the tokens, then someone would counterfeit them and sell them. But if a judge does not throw this out of court and dress down the metro cop I will be dissapointed in Metro justice.
I assume by "see" you meant "sell".MARTA is Atlanta's transit system.Most big city transit systems use tokens to get through the turnstyles to get to your train.
I think I read that it's illegal to sell them there because of concerns about fraud.
