Getting Around Atlanta by MARTA

MARTA rail connects the airport with Downtown, Midtown and other parts of Atlanta. Its cross-shaped network is useful for longer city trips, though some neighborhoods need a bus or another final leg.

Why go

Use the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) to make sense of Atlanta's spread-out geography. The rail lines meet at Five Points in Downtown, where you can change between north–south and east–west travel. The airport rail connection also gives arriving visitors a direct starting point for planning a trip into the city.

Useful to know

  • Check MARTA's current trip planner for the station, line and any bus connection before setting out.
  • Allow for a transfer at Five Points when moving between the north–south and east–west rail corridors.
  • Check the final leg from the station to your destination; Atlanta's named districts extend beyond rail stops.
