offers curb to curb service for eligible customers. Mobility vans do not
operate on a fixed route and service will be delayed by increased traffic on
surface streets.
While the bus routes
listed above and Mobility service will be most directly impacted by the I-285
closure, all MARTA bus routes, including on-demand service MARTA Reach, and bus
rapid transit service MARTA Rapid, may also be delayed due to increased
traffic.
Rail service will not be
impacted but customers should allow more time when traveling to rail stations
or making connections.
