Atlanta, Georgia

 

 Atlanta is home to the first subway in the South. The system has three lines, a hub station (Five Points)  and one branch.

At this time (2007) there is talk of a Belt Line encircling the city with a mix of bus, light rail, heavy rail and Bus Rapid Transit (Exact mix and exact station locations are  still undecided). When this line is built ( which will be in stages)  it will be added to this section.

Unique to MARTA is an identification system based on distance from Five Points.   Since it is the hub of the system Five Points has no letter and number. Where a line branches off. the number used is the next number from the main line but with the branch's letter .For example Bankhead is P4 and is After Ashby Street (W3)
