    Where can I use Breeze in Apple Wallet?
    Use Breeze in Apple Wallet to ride the train at all of MARTA’s 38 rail stations and 12 streetcar stops, on the Rapid A-Line bus rapid transit line in downtown Atlanta, on board MARTA Reach on-demand transit vehicles, and on all local bus routes operated by MARTA, ATL Xpress, CobbLinc, Connect Douglas, and Ride Gwinnett.

    Can I have my Breeze card on both my iPhone and Apple Watch?
    Your Breeze card can only be on a single device at one time. You may have a Breeze card on both your iPhone and Apple Watch as long as they are two separate Breeze cards.

    If I have both a Breeze card and a bank card in Apple Wallet, which card will be charged for my transit trip?
    The reader will select the Breeze card first. If you prefer to pay for your trip with your credit or debit card, then you should enable Express on your preferred payment card and disable Express on your Breeze card.

    What happens if my physical cards and devices are accidentally charged at the same time?
    Only one card will ever be charged at a time. To ensure that only your chosen payment method is charged, always keep your physical cards separate from your Apple devices when paying for transit using Express Mode.

    Can I tap when my iPhone needs to be charged?
    You may be able to use your Express Mode-enabled card on your iPhone even when your device needs to be charged. With a compatible iPhone, you may be able to use power reserve to make an Express transaction for up to five hours when your iPhone needs to be charged.
