PLAN YOUR NEXT TRIP TO THE AIRPORT ON MARTA

ATLANTA—As an alternative to the construction due to begin at Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport beginning Friday July 16, MARTA General Manager/CEO Nathaniel P. Ford, Sr. encourages all airport travelers to take the “train to the plane.”

MARTA provides direct access to the airport to its Airport Station, which is the last stop on the South line. The rail station is located between the north and south baggage claim areas. “MARTA provides door to door service to Hartsfield-Jackson Airport,” said Ford. “This is the fastest, cost effective, and convenient way to go, all at a one-way fare of $1.75.”

Tokens and TransCards can be bought at any of MARTA’s RideStores located inside stations at Five Points, Lenox, Airport, Sandy Springs and North Springs Stations and at the MARTA Lindbergh Headquarters building. Tokens can also be purchased from token machines that are located in all of MARTA’s 38 rail stations or through retail outlets in the metro Atlanta area.

MARTA’s rail system operates from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Friday and from 5 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. weekends and holidays. Long-term parking is available for $6.00 per day at the College Park, Kensington, Lindbergh Center and North Springs Stations.

To plan your trip to the airport, please contact MARTA’s Customer Information Line at 404 848-4711 or visit our web site at www.itsmarta.com. In addition, MARTA has a TDD Schedule Information telephone number for the hearing impaired, and the center can be reached at (404) 848-5665.

When leaving the airport after 9 p.m., please be advised that all passengers must change trains at Lindbergh Station to reach Buckhead, Medical Center, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and North Springs stations. In addition, always confirm the destination of your train by looking at the train destination sign and listening for train announcements.
