Gold and Red Lines starts at ATL Airport Station and goes to Downtown Atlanta and Midtown. After passing Midtown, Gold Line splits to Doraville and Red Line goes to Buckhead/North Spring. In addition, Red Line only serves between the Airport Station to Downtown/Midtown Atlanta between morning to 9pm. After 9pm, Gold Line only goes to the airport.
In my opinion, taking MARTA Rail to/from the airport is the best option! The train is fast and cheap.

Did you know that Houston METRO was suppose to have this type of MARTA Rail System (and it's design concept) in the 1970s-1980s. Since the idea was rejected, all rail funding went to Dallas and Atlanta.
Also, Buckhead Atlanta is similar as River Oaks Houston.

The English announcer is always so calm and collected. The Spanish one sounds like she is running out of a burning building.
-
Awesome! I have lived in both Atlanta and Houston and rode MARTA on a daily basis to get to and from work. I know this route very well.
-
I've been waiting for good MARTA footage, thank you.
-
I really love MARTA with a passion especially the buses, trains and streetcars.
-
This was dope thanks for uploading! I'm going to Atlanta for the first time this month I'll definitely be taking marta to downtown from the airport! Looks super easy!
-
Thank you. I used MARTA when I lived in Atlanta about 10 years ago and I’m visiting there again this week. It’s nice to see where I should go from airport before I get there. I will be taking the red line as well to get to Peachtree Center. 😊
-
My ole home and Marta for 15 yeas. I see the train pass by my ole apartment complex. Good job.
-
I love to watch the train leave when you get out! Thank you for this!
-
That was the best video my son love’s Marta trains my son said update more Marta train videos please
-
The Marta Trains has the same MITRAC Motors from the MTA NYC Subway Trains. R142A, R188, and R143.
-
1:53 the MARTA train already sounds too familiar
-
This is a big help for me since I will be using the train for the first time after traveling from out of state. Thank you.
-
MARTA trains are so cool. I wish DART used these or at least the R211s in Newyork. By the way, will you ever be able to do a New York video in the future?
-
Wow very great video!
-
Thank you for a fantastic video. I am a frequent rider on Marta and I love how you promote the service. I also learned how to get to the Dwarf House. New subbie
-
Love this.
-
Wow! The MARTA trains are really starting to show their age!
-
It's always been a lifelong dream of mine to one day ride MARTA...now, I can live just a little bit of that dream. Thank you.
-
MARTA seems cooler than I realized! I used to go to Atlanta for work several times a year and realize now that I missed out on using the system when I had the chance. It's not surprising given their linked history of construction from the mid-20th Century, but I am struck at the similarities between MARTA and DC's Metro. Their rolling stock in particular is remarkably similar, and the ATL station could almost pass for one of DC Metro's elevated stations at a glance

I love Marta I take it everyday in Atlanta in the city all over you don’t gotta have a a car you got Marta
