Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

A Mexican national faces a federal firearms charge after a gun he allegedly carried onto a MARTA bus discharged, wounding him and another passenger, federal prosecutors said.

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority said it safely and efficiently provided 4.7 million rail passenger trips over 35 days of FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, fan festivals, concerts, events, and the Peachtree Road Race on July 4.

A man died Saturday morning after he was struck by a MARTA train at Civic Center station, according to MARTA police.

MARTA police are warning riders that damaging faregates at rail stations can result in felony charges, saying the cost of replacing broken faregate glass exceeds the threshold for felony property damage under Georgia law.

A convicted felon accused of shooting a 17-year-old boy aboard a MARTA train at Midtown station now faces federal charges, prosecutors said.

A man wanted in connection with a shooting at MARTA’s Midtown station was arrested Sunday after a multi-agency search in Douglasville, MARTA police said.
