The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority is advancing its NextGen Bus Network, a redesign of MARTA bus routes to create a smarter, faster, and better system to serve the region.
From December through early February 2025, MARTA will host virtual and in-person meetings to gather feedback about the proposed bus network changes.
Officials said the NextGen Bus Network reflects MARTA’s long-term vision for a more equitable and efficient transit system that prioritizes access to jobs, education, essential services, and stronger community connections. Key proposed service enhancements include increased frequent service routes, enhanced job accessibility, and new, on-demand service zones that meet the diverse needs of lower-density areas.
“This redesign of our bus network represents a generational shift in our service to better align with the region’s dynamic growth, changing commute patterns, and post-pandemic realities of public transit use,” MARTA General Manager and CEO Collie Greenwood said in a statement. “We are eager to share the proposed bus network with our customers and stakeholders and hear feedback on opportunities to refine.”
