MARTA to Run Extra Trains For Falcons Game

The service costs $2.50 each way.

 

MARTA hopes Sandy Springs residents and other local sports fans will take transit downtown, Sunday, to catch Atlanta Falcons action as they take on the San Francisco 49ers.

Direct service to the Georgia Dome is available via MARTA and the local transit system will have extra trains running to get customers quickly to and from the game. Additional staff and police will be on hand to assist customers. In support of the hometown team, MARTA will be running a "Go Falcons" message on its buses and trains.
