The Lowdown on MARTA and the Airport
First things first, MARTA is Atlanta's Rapid Transit System, which basically means it's their fancy way of saying "subway". And while it's not quite as glamorous as the New York City subway (sorry, Atlanta), it definitely gets the job done.
Now, here's the kicker: MARTA actually stops at the Domestic Terminal. Not the International Terminal. Cue dramatic gasp. But don't panic! There's a shuttle bus that runs 24/7 between the two terminals. It's like a little airport taxi, but free!
