Ways to pay

Flexible payment choices
MARTA riders have flexible, modern payment choices — whether you choose to tap to pay with your credit/debit card, phone, or use a Breeze card or ticket.
Tap to pay
Skip the ticket vending machine and start riding with tap to pay options.

Tap to pay with credit or debit card
No Breeze ticket or card required — use your contactless-enabled credit or debit card to tap directly on the validator at the rail station faregates, on board buses and vans, or on validators at streetcar and Rapid stops.

Tap to pay with mobile wallet
Use a credit/debit card linked to your smartphone or smartwatch's digital wallet or virtual Breeze card to tap to pay directly at the rail station fare gates, on buses and vans, or on validators at streetcar and Rapid stops.
Apple, Google & Samsung wallets are accepted.
Breeze
Breeze is a fast, flexible, secure way to ride MARTA and participating regional transit agency services with buying options that fit your needs.

Physical Breeze Card
Buy a reloadable Breeze card to purchase trips and passes or add stored value. To ride, just tap your Breeze card at the rail station faregates, on buses and vans, or on validators at streetcar and Rapid stops.
You will be charged a one-time fee of $2.00 when you purchase a Breeze card.

Virtual Breeze Card
Did you know you can purchase and use a virtual Breeze card directly from your phone’s digital wallet? Open your mobile phone’s wallet and add a transit card to get started.
You will be charged a one-time fee of $2.00 when you purchase the virtual Breeze card.

Breeze Tickets
Single-use paper Breeze tickets are available for purchase at vending machines. To ride, just tap your Breeze ticket at the rail station fare gates, on board buses and vans, or on validators at streetcar and Rapid stops.
Breeze tickets have a 90-day expiration. You will be charged a fee of $1.00 when you purchase a paper Breeze ticket.
