The regular MARTA fare is $2.50 for a one-way trip. You can pay exact cash, but only on buses, otherwise, fare must be added to a reloadable Breeze Card ($2) or a $1 disposable paper ticket. You can purchase the fare card or ticket, along with fare, at all MARTA rail stations or online.
To help protect bus drivers during the coronavirus pandemic, it is free to ride the bus starting March 26, 2020. Enter the bus via the rear side door away from the driver. For more information, see the AJC’s article and information on how to ride MARTA buses.
