MARTA is also available directly from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to the downtown hotels.

MARTA fare is $4.00 for a round trip and there is a vending machine in the Airport Station that accepts cash as well as credit cards. Visitor passes with unlimited travel for 1–7 days are also available. Take the MARTA train to the Peachtree Center Station.
