ATLANTA - The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority is expanding bus service Monday as road conditions improve following severe winter weather that forced reduced operations across the system.
MARTA officials say 17 high-ridership bus routes will resume service beginning around noon on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026. Ten lifeline routes remain in operation, along with rail and paratransit service. All other bus routes are still suspended.
Rail service continues with trains arriving every 10 to 20 minutes. North and south lines are operating as scheduled, while east and west service remains limited. The Atlanta Streetcar is operating with shuttle vans approximately every 45 minutes. MARTA Mobility will honor existing bookings for the rest of the day but is not accepting new same-day trips.
