Yes, MARTA provides direct service to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) offers a highly convenient and efficient way to travel to and from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, eliminating the need for transfers on the primary routes to the airport station for most journeys.
Which MARTA Lines Go Directly to the Airport?
The following MARTA lines offer direct access to the Airport Station:
- Red Line: This line travels directly to and from the Airport Station, serving northern and downtown Atlanta areas.
- Gold Line: Similar to the Red Line, the Gold Line also provides direct service to and from the Airport Station, connecting various key areas, including Doraville and downtown.
These lines ensure a seamless journey for most travelers heading to or departing from the airport, making public transit a top choice for airport commutes in Atlanta.

Important Travel Considerations
While MARTA offers direct service for the vast majority of trips, there's a specific consideration for late-night travel:
- Late-Night Transfers (From Airport): If you are traveling from the Airport Station to certain northern destinations after 8:30 pm, you may need to transfer. Specifically, passengers heading to stations such as:
- Buckhead
- Medical Center
- Dunwoody
- Sandy Springs
- North Springs
...may be required to transfer to the Red Line at the Lindbergh Center station to complete their journey. This adjustment is for operational efficiency during off-peak hours.
This direct connection makes MARTA an excellent option for avoiding traffic congestion and expensive parking fees when accessing one of the world's busiest airports.
