What You'll Learn
Marta passes can be purchased at the airport
The ride store should have staff who can assist you with your purchase. If you prefer a more self-service option, you can use the machine to buy a BreezeCard or a BreezeTicket using cash or a debit/credit card. The fare is typically $2.50 for a one-way trip, and the card itself costs $2. You can also purchase a single-trip ticket if you only need to travel once.
If you plan to use Marta multiple times or for a group trip, it may be more convenient and cost-effective to purchase a reloadable Breeze Card. This card can be reloaded as needed without paying for a new card each time. Additionally, children 46 inches and under can ride Marta for free, with a limit of two children per paying adult.
For those who are eligible, reduced fares are also available for senior citizens (65+), persons with disabilities, and Medicare cardholders. These reduced fares can be purchased in person, Monday through Friday, at designated locations.

Passes are $2.50 for a one-way trip
Marta passes are available for purchase at the airport. The regular Marta fare is $2.50 for a one-way trip on trains and buses. You can pay in exact cash, but only on buses. Otherwise, the fare must be added to a reloadable Breeze Card, which costs $2, or a $1 ticket. These can be purchased at the Ride Store in the Marta station, or from a machine, in cash or with a debit/credit card.
If you are only making a single trip, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a Breeze Ticket for each trip, rather than loading up a Breeze Card. If you are travelling in a group, each person must have their own Breeze Card or ticket. Children under 46 inches can ride for free, with a limit of two children per paying adult. Senior citizens, disabled riders, and Medicare recipients are eligible for reduced fares of $1.
If you are making multiple trips, a pass may be a cheaper option. These provide unlimited rides within a certain time period and are activated on the first day of use. You can also purchase bulk tickets by contacting the Media Sales Department.
The Marta station at the airport can be found at the west end of the terminal, past the baggage claim and before the exit doors.
