MARTA Bus Route Changes to Begin June 18

Changes include Route 2 through Decatur and Route 75 buses will only serve the South bus bay at the Avondale Station.

Starting June 18, MARTA will implement changes to a number of bus routes, including Route 2, which serves Decatur.

For that route, MARTA says service will be realigned to provide alternating trips along current routing from North Avenue Station to Edgewood/Candler Park Station and from North Avenue Station to Decatur Station via North Avenue, Boulevard, Ponce De Leon Avenue, West Ponce De Leon Avenue, Commerce Drive and Swanton Way.

For Route 75, the route and schedule remain the same. However, MARTA buses will now serve Avondale Station's South Loop Bus Bay on all trips and will no longer serve the North loop.
