MARTA Adds Train Service for NYE Events

Metro Atlanta’s Metropolitan Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) announced plans to expand train service during three major downtown events over New Year’s. According to 11 Alive, “Service will be increased for the Peach Drop, the Chick-fil-A Bowl parade and game, and the Peachtree Polar Opposite Race.”

The agency is encouraging Atlantans and visitors to use public transit to avoid traffic and reach events safely, cautioning that trains and stations will likely be busier than usual.  According to the MARTA website, “Additional trains will be placed in service as needed to accommodate increased ridership before/after the Peach Drop and other NYE events.”
