In 2021, MARTA announced it would update the bus network to reflect the changing reality of where residents live and want to go. The pandemic and its aftermath delayed those efforts. Today, riders still report buses that don’t arrive due to trip cancellations or get stuck in traffic, causing them to miss work and appointments.
We’re pleased to report the redesign process is finally getting going again. MARTA plans to start sharing the draft with the public this fall. We’ll be there, advocating for more frequent, reliable bus service—ideally, every 15 minutes—fewer canceled trips, and reliable information on bus locations and arrival times.
