Safety
The Five Points station is the busiest in the system and has the most reported crimes, although that number is still low at about 40 or less reported crimes per year (source: MARTA Crime Stats). Outside the station, the immediate area has high crime reports (especially south of the station). In general, we recommend using a different downtown train station for your commute unless you are using Five Points to transfer trains or work in a building next door.
