Barrett BristerNovember 9, 2012Keep your Breeze card; you'll need it with you as long as you ride the system. If you're going downtown OR riding after 7 p.m. it doesn't matter which train you ride, otherwise it does.
Ben ChociejNovember 30, 2011Going to the airport? Park at Sandy Springs for five bucks a day! It's 42 minutes to the airport, which is as fast as or faster than driving in the morning and evening traffic!Upvoted Mar 27
Carl WhiteMarch 24, 2013Walk to the end of this station for a pretty good view of the jets landing. You can also see how crazy pick-up and drop-off gets.Upvoted Feb 15
The south end of the platform (away from the direction the trains enter/leave) is the closest to an observation deck that you'll find at ATL.
MARTA is perfectly safe and as clean as a subway system gets. Support public transportation and save a ton of money by riding MARTA to your Atlanta destination!
Paula MadeiraJune 20, 2017Very easy, fast and the cheapest way to get from the airport to downtown and vice versa.
Mike SkottOctober 18, 2013Visitors may not be aware that thanks to several layers of completely incompetent local governments, MARTA only goes to places you certainly don't want or need to get to, except downtown.
If you use the MARTA often (e.g. for conventions), buy the MARTA card for $1 and keep it for future years.
If you love in the burbs, use the Park & Ride. It costs less than your gas alone, and you can relax for an hour instead of fighting traffic!
Caitlyn SilvasJanuary 7, 2013If you are visiting Atlanta definitely get a day/week pass. Definitely helps to get around if you but a City Pass
Harumi USeptember 9, 2014If you are heading over to midtown/Buckhead/perimeter direction, this is absolutely the best way to do it.
Make sure you get your seat first or the passengers will cloud the train with there baggage. The walk way is always filled with luggages.
You might have to wait for the train to leave, but any wait is better than driving in Atlanta (if my hair was long enough to grab hold of I'd've pulled it out in Wed's 5pm traffic).
Patrick RosenbaumJune 5, 2012If you're just visiting like me, be sure to take MARTA from the airport into the city. Only $2.50 one way and beats a $20 cab ride.- Be prepared to wait. Both trains are not always running. You may have to change trains at Lindbergh Center station.
Benjamin SzwedaMay 22, 2015Take either Gold or Red line to downtown ATL for just $2.50. Lines are parallel for first 13 stops.
Do ride the elevator people tend to use it as a porta potty
- Riding MARTA is better for the environment than taking a cab as well as faster than getting stuck in Atlanta's infamous traffic congestion.
Colin LordSeptember 20, 2018If you want a red line train after 9pm, they terminate at Lindbergh. Take a gold line train from here to get on the red line.- Don't ride the elevator, people tend to use it as a porta potty
Marta is ok if your not a frequent rider. If your a reg. pay online, CC machine down all the time.. Employees are rude as they deal with negativity all day. Make sure your early or your not on time!
Christina PedeltyApril 4, 2012I have ridden this train quite a bit and never felt concerned for my safety... Be smart and you shouldn't have a problem.
Gypsy HeartAugust 22, 2012Taking MARTA cause it's smarta! :-) It's great to be able to avoid Atlanta's early, rush hour rain traffic!
Instead of snakes on a plane we have crazies on the train. I love mass transit.
Tom Acox (@ThatTomAcox)October 8, 2013Skip a taxi and take the MARTA. Way faster especially during rush hour.- Cheapest and easiest ways to get to most places north of the airport
Dan P.April 4, 2012Bring exact change so you do not get stuck with a bunch of coins after buying breeze card.
Here's a tip......if you don't know where you are going, ask a MARTA Employee instead of a random passenger on the train!!
Stick fingers in ears shortly after train arrives to prevent permanent ear damage from train's air brake release!!! Tchhhhheew!
Trae FDecember 10, 2017The trains take way too long and nobody reads the signs so the poor guy in the booth gets asked the same questions over and over.
Download OneBusAway app for real-time bus and train arrival times!- MARTA is safe leaving the airport, as there are a lot of airport people on the train. Overall though, MARTA does not appear to be safe...
- Max TNovember 24, 2010First train from here: 4.43am mon-fri, 5.50am sat and sunday. Round ticket 4,5 usd (4 + 0,5 for breeze card)
- Only five bucks each way from the Discover Mills Park & Ride to the airport! What a deal!
- Look at the train map to figure out which train you should be on. Then read the marquee on the outside of the train!
To the girl who claims that MARTA is "safe and as clean as a subway system gets"...clearly you have not ridden MARTA too often.
If you lost your ticket or card you can still get pass the gate. Simply wait for the gates to close and then walk up really close to it (almost kissing it) and it will open. :-\
