Key Performance Indicators

Combined Ridership (unlinked trips) 

Definition: Unlinked trips are counted each time passengers board MARTA vehicles (for example, a passenger’s journey from the Airport station to the final destination may require two unlinked trips - taking a train to a station and then transferring to a bus to complete the one-way travel).

Performance (January 2026):

Combined Ridership for the month of January was 5,720,606 unlinked passenger boardings, exceeding the forecast by 129,602.  This is due to a changed methodology for collecting rail ridership starting in January 2026.  Rail ridership will be estimated based on manual counts for a statistically valid sample.
