Combined Ridership (unlinked trips)
Definition: Unlinked trips are counted each time passengers board MARTA vehicles (for example, a passenger’s journey from the Airport station to the final destination may require two unlinked trips - taking a train to a station and then transferring to a bus to complete the one-way travel).
Performance (May 2025):
Combined Ridership for the month of May was 5.6 million unlinked passenger boardings, falling short of the forecast by 0.8 million. The 2025 Fiscal Year-to-Date (months of July through May) Combined Ridership of 59.5 million unlinked trips fell short of the forecast by 6.9 million.
