MARTA Atlanta’s Rapid Transit

Written By Cody Hays

Riding MARTA, Atlanta’s rapid transit system, from the airport to your downtown hotel is easy.

Participants will go to the Domestic Terminal, between the North and South baggage claims. Take the Red and Gold lines to the Five Points or Peachtree Center, depending on your assigned hotel.

Tips for taking MARTA to and from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport

  • MARTA’s Airport Station is inside the Domestic Terminal. Travel to the Domestic Terminal, between the North and South baggage claims. Here is the domestic terminal directory 

  • Take the Red or Gold lines. They travel directly to and from the Airport Station.

  • Plan ahead (or on the go). Use the MARTA On the Go app to get directions and see real-time train schedules.

  • MARTA’s fare system uses Breeze Cards. Purchase cards at www.BreezeCard.com ahead of time, at the Breeze Vending Machines in any MARTA rail stations or in person at the Marta Ridestore in the Airport or Five Points stations.

    • A reloadable Breeze Card is $2 and then $2.50 per ride.

    • A Breeze ticket is $1 plus the $2.50 fare for a single ride.
