MARTA to Turner Field
Most people going to a Braves Game take the Braves Shuttle. However, you can walk or take other buses. The closest MARTA station to Turner Field is actually the Georgia State station on the blue/green rail line. Walking time is about 25 minutes. From the station, turn left on Piedmont Avenue and walk south toward the Capitol.
Bus 55 and bus 32 depart from the Five Points Station and also go to Turner Field. Plan ahead and look at the bus schedules online to know departure times, or use Google Maps on your smartphone for trip information and next arriving bus when going to or leaving the game.

MARTA to the Braves Shuttle
The Braves Shuttle departs outside of Kenny’s Alley at Underground Atlanta, about equally distant from the Five Points and E1 Georgia State stations (see area map).
If you exit at Georgia State, turn left onto Piedmont Avenue toward the Capitol, then turn right at the first street (Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.) and walk about a block to reach the back entrance to Underground Atlanta.
If you exit at Five Points, just follow the signs to street level once you exit the train. You need to be more careful of signage if you are coming from the north or south rail lines, as not all escalators go up to street level. Be sure to follow the signs that read “To Street”.
If you exit your train to the outside of the platform you’ll find the elevators, so if you are with a bike, have a stroller or wheelchair, be sure to exit on the outside platforms and avoid the center platform.
The station has plenty of signs directing patrons to the shuttles once you reach street level. Take the Peachtree Street exit out of the station, then walk through Underground Atlanta to get to the shuttle pick up. If you need an elevator, take the Peachtree Street exit completely out of the station, cross over Peachtree and there will be a pavilion on the corner with an elevator down to Underground Atlanta.
