Bus Directions
- 809: Get on the bus at the King Memorial MARTA station for the shortest ride, or along Boulevard, Monroe Drive or at the Lindbergh Center station
- 816: This bus travels between Five Points and Lenox MARTA stations, including through Virginia Highland via Highland Avenue and Freedom Parkway.
