  • Riding Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Rail Red Line from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Station (ATL) to Buckhead, via Downtown Atlanta and Midtown Atlanta. This journey starts at ATL Airport. The train passes by Downtown and Midtown Atlanta. I get off at Buckhead Station in Buckhead (north of Downtown Atlanta).
    For more information about traveling between ATL Airport and Downtown/Midtown Atlanta, checkout my blog at: houexplorer.com/2023/03/01/ma...
    Gold and Red Lines starts at ATL Airport Station and goes to Downtown Atlanta and Midtown. After passing Midtown, Gold Line splits to Doraville and Red Line goes to Buckhead/North Spring. In addition, Red Line only serves between the Airport Station to Downtown/Midtown Atlanta between morning to 9pm. After 9pm, Gold Line only goes to the airport.
    In my opinion, taking MARTA Rail to/from the airport is the best option! The train is fast and cheap.

    FARE:
    As of 2022, the one way full fare to ride this train is $2.50. You can purchase the Breeze Fare Card (MARTA's Fare Card) at any ticket vending machine or online (www.breezecard.com/). For more information about MARTA's fare, please visit their webpage at: www.itsmarta.com/fare-program...
    In this video, I've purchased a 4-Day "Day Pass" since I will be staying in Atlanta, Georgia for four days.

    MARTA seems cooler than I realized! I used to go to Atlanta for work several times a year and realize now that I missed out on using the system when I had the chance. It's not surprising given their linked history of construction from the mid-20th Century, but I am struck at the similarities between MARTA and DC's Metro. Their rolling stock in particular is remarkably similar, and the ATL station could almost pass for one of DC Metro's elevated stations at a glance

      WMATA and MARTA (as well as BART) all run on the same tech and principle: an automated hybrid regional rail and subway. People a lot about where it doesn’t go, but 99% of that is suburbia. In its service area the system connects via bus and rail every major business district, the highest densely populated area in all of Georgia, every university and school, entertainment district, and sporting venue in Fulton and DeKalb county and it all terminates at the world’s busiest airport. It’s a remarkable system that doesn’t get enough good press.

      @@tarik158 MARTA is pretty cool, but the press against it usually comes from suburbanites who either don't want to pay extra taxes for what they see as a vanity project for the poor, or don't want lower income riders to lower their property values. While I'd like more heavy rail lines / extensions (especially to Marietta), MARTA is taking steps to advertise its system to unaware or weary residents by modernizing its rolling stock, revitalizing the Five Points station and Downtown, and building light rail lines alongside the Beltline Trail that act as a ring line that connects to new and existing heavy rail stations en route. Local Busses and BRT could be useful for suburbs, but more lanes need to be dedicated to HOVs because suburban traffic in Atlanta is also just as bad.
