TRANSIT FLY Review: The World's largest airport by passenger volume Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport offers passengers many excellent Airport Transportation options. Headlining the transit options at ATL is the direct connection to Atlanta's subway system MARTA. MARTA offers passengers an excellent connection to the Airport Train Station (#S7) and provides a direct connection to Downtown Atlanta in as little as 15 minutes. We at TransitFly.com have extremely high regard for the efficiency and ease of the direct connection to MARTA at ATL, we only wish that more destinations throughout the metro area were served. However, at only $1.75 MARTA offers a terrific deal for passengers. |
