It's fine, just sheltered people being dramatic

I was on a project there for a year. Always took Marta to buckhead. Was safe and much easier than dealing with Atlanta traffic.

That's not true^. Uber is cheap but not $2.50 cheap. I've also been noticing surge pricing more often at the airport

Marta is actually really nice. Especially from the airport. You don't have anything to worry about. I was on a project there and we didn't even rent cars.

Hell to the no unless you wanna get shot

I hate Marta, I live here and have seen someone OD on it, saw a homeless man dead on one of the ghetto stops, have had other homeless men try to grab my suitcase and it broke down once and I was stuck on it for 2.5 hours. With that said, I no longer ride Marta.

There will be some seriously sketchy characters, and they may interact with you but in general it's safe. Just be smart and aware

You'll be fine. MARTA is safe. If you're worried, just get in the front car behind the driver.

Marta is amazing! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4D-yvE5y0go

Agreed with D2. Marta is generally safe. I've taken it numerous times....

Marta sucks as a tool for transportation but it's both clean and safe.

Lived in Atlanta for more than 20 years, Marta may be sketchy at some of the random atl stops, but if you aren't getting off there...you are fine.

I take it all the time... great for avoiding traffic. I feel comfortable using it anytime, but I wouldn't want to be a woman using it past 9 ish at night ... heading north from airport it will only get safer the further north you go as a generalized rule of thumb

Uber is super cheap in Atlanta if you stay in the perimeter. Depending on where you're going it's the same price as a one way trip on Marta

I've gotten Ubers for $1.50-2.00 so maybe it's just my luck
