Green Line Map, Stations, Schedule
The MARTA green line runs east and west through downtown Atlanta to stations that are primarily in residential areas (view map). One unique feature of the green line is that the trains only have two rail cars (versus the standard four), so the trains are shorter.
The other key thing to know is that on weekdays, trains travel the entire length of the green line, from Bankhead to Edgewood/Candler Park. On weekends, trains only travel east as far as the King Memorial MARTA station. And after 9 p.m. on any day of the week, green line trains only shuttle between the Ashby and Bankhead MARTA stations.
Stations
Bankhead* | Ashby* | Vine City | Dome | Five Points | Georgia State | King Memorial* | Inman Park* | Candler Park*
*Free daily parking
Note that the Bankhead MARTA station only has 11 parking spots and the Inman Park north parking lot is currently closed due to construction — as a result, a parking lot next to the King Memorial station and Oakland Cemetery is temporarily open.

Tip: Plan your trip with Google Maps to view which train to board in order to arrive at your destination on time.
