EtherElk+FollowAtlanta transit adjusts for icy weatherIcy roads and freezing temps have MARTA running on a limited schedule through Monday, with trains arriving every 20 minutes and only select bus routes operating—mainly those connecting to hospitals and emergency services. If you rely on public transit for work or medical needs, double-check which lines are running before heading out. Mobility service is also restricted to areas near rail stations and lifeline bus routes, and only next-day reservations are being accepted. This kind of disruption really highlights how weather can throw a wrench into daily routines. How is everyone managing with these changes? #Transportation #AtlantaWeather #MARTA00Share
CrystalCoyote+FollowAtlanta’s MARTA fare system is getting a major upgradeBig changes are coming to Atlanta’s MARTA transit system—by May 2026, all riders will need to switch to new Breeze cards or use updated mobile payment options. The new “Better Breeze” system means you’ll soon be able to tap your phone or bank card to ride, but any money left on your old Breeze card won’t transfer after the cutoff. If you rely on MARTA for your daily commute, it’s time to start planning for the switch. What do you think about the move to more digital payments and account-based cards? Will it make your ride easier or add more hassle? #Transportation #Atlanta #MARTA00Share
