Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority has resumed Red and Gold Line service at Garnett Station after trains temporarily skipped the station for six weeks to allow platform renovations.

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority will replace its entire fare collection system over the next six months to implement and complete the customer transition by spring 2026.

The interim general manager wants to take the transit system from “good” to “great” by enhancing safety, reliability, and customer service.

Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Interim General Manager and CEO Jonathan Hunt announced a restructuring of his leadership team with a renewed focus on operational safety, reliability and project delivery.

Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority trains will temporarily skip Garnett Station from Sept. 13 to Oct. 26, so construction crews can replace the 40-year-old platform pavers.
