Die Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) betreibt zahlreiche Buslinien in der Metropolregion Atlanta . Das Hauptnetz verkehrt in den Countys Fulton , DeKalb und Clayton , einige Linien fahren jedoch auch in andere Vorort-Countys. Im Jahr 2025 nutzten 34.316.700 Menschen das System, was im ersten Quartal 2026 etwa 100.000 Fahrgästen pro Werktag entsprach. [ 1 ]
MARTA erstellte 2017 eine Wunschliste zur Erweiterung des Angebots, einschließlich Bussen. [ 2 ] Gleichzeitig gab es jedoch 2017 einen Plan zur Reduzierung einiger Busverbindungen, was bei den betroffenen Anwohnern Empörung auslöste. [ 3 ] Bis 2023 wurden die Pläne für den Ausbau des Stadtbahnnetzes um ein Bus-Rapid-Transit-System erweitert . [ 4 ]
Im Jahr 2025 kündigte MARTA eine umfassende Überarbeitung ihres Bussystems an, genannt „NextGen Bus Network“, wodurch die Anzahl der Buslinien von etwa 113 auf 81 reduziert wurde. [ 5 ] Die Überarbeitung wurde am 18. April 2026 gestartet. [ 6 ]
Buslinien
MARTA betreibt 81 lokale Buslinien und eine Schnellbuslinie namens Rapid A-Line. [ 5 ] Zusätzlich zu diesen Linien verfügt MARTA über 12 bedarfsorientierte Verkehrszonen , bekannt als MARTA Reach. [ 7 ] [ 8 ]
