A recent tweet asking New Yorkers to rank their seating preferences on the city's subway system has sparked quite the conversation on social media.

Since twitter user Gabe posed the question, “All my New Yorkers, which is the best seat?” on New Year’s eve, the tweet has been favorited more than 12,000 times and attracted thousands of replies and retweets, as of Thursday afternoon.

In response, other cities are asking the same question of their public transit systems, from Toronto to Boston.

So, what do ya say, Atlanta? If given the choice, which of these seats is the best one to snag on a MARTA train?

Let us know your preference on social media.

And, please enjoy this MARTA throwback photo, snapped by the AJC in 2006 when MARTA was in the process of updating its train cars.
