Yes don’t be dramatic. Safer than NYC subway

Marta is less crowded so maybe less after in numbers but also less densely packed so chances someone’s causing problems are lower.

If you do I would ride in the 1st car. And if you feel so inclined, I would bring a firearm if possible. And don’t ride it after 6 or 7 pm.

It’s legal if you have a CCW permit

Lol yea ignore people like K1. It’s safe and you don’t need a firearm. Just like any other subway system.

Def not safe. I ride it to airport regularly but I’m 6’2” and 270 pounds. I will not let my wife ride it alone. I’ve had brawls break out in my car, aggressive panhandlers daily, and loud mouths looking for a reason to get in a shouting match.

If I’m with a friend, I feel pretty safe day/night. During the day it’s completely fine, there are a lot of commuters. I’ve used it to get to the airport several times. At night, I would be a little concerned about riding it alone but as a woman I’m scared about doing 90% of things at night alone

I was also wondering this. Are there routes or times of day that are safer or more dangerous?

Yes I’ve had no issues right in the MARTA, if you ride the metro in DC its exact same

Realistically, you’re *probably* going to be fine. There have been some terrifying stories in my social circle, but you just have to be smart. For a regular commute, you’ll be totally fine.

Depends on what stop you get on / off at. But it’s super safe for the most part. You might see some sketchy (but harmless) things.

Just get onto the car that has the most commuters

Thanks everyone. Just gonna Uber to airport. Cant put a price on safety

Honestly Marta to/from the airport is my preferred method. Just do it. You’re going to feel silly for having hesitations when you realize how easy it is.

I’m a skinny, nerdy, Jewish guy and I take it back and forth to the airport from Midtown just fine with no issues. Compared to the NY Subway, MARTA is cakewalk.

Marta is fine at rush hour, particularly on the north and south lines. I don’t care for the East/west line, but it’s better if you are going west than if you are going east. I don’t personally feel comfortable parking at the east MARTA stops. But we take the north/south lines to concerts, ballgames, and airport at busy times.
