MARTA Rapid Transit

completed

Archer Western is building metro Atlanta's first bus rapid transit line, named MARTA Rapid. The five-mile BRT line will connect downtown Atlanta to Capitol Gateway, Summerhill, Peoplestown, and the Beltline, with connections to MARTA’s heavy rail system at Five Points, Georgia State, and Garnett Stations. The high-capacity transit line will have new electric buses and operate in 85 percent dedicated lanes with transit signal priority. Fourteen BRT stations along the route will feature off-board fare collection, real-time service information, and level boarding, along with other amenities consistent with rail stations.
