The MARTA green line runs east and west through downtown Atlanta to stations that are primarily in residential areas. 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 and often less crowded than the four-car trains.
Stations

Schedule
Green line hours are approximately 4:45 a.m. to 1:15 a.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. to 1:15 a.m. on weekends and holidays. Download the MARTA on the Go App for the next arriving trains in real-time or view online at marta.io.
