The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority now has free Wi-Fi on all buses and trains. The new connection allows riders to browse the web, send e-mails, read e-books, and connect to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.  

To use Wi-Fi on MARTA:

  • Riders go to their Wi-Fi settings and select the network name based on their rail car number or bus (e.g. MARTA_Rail_Guest_673 or MARTA_Bus_Guest).
  • Review and accept the terms and conditions to connect to the internet.
  • Riders who move from one mode or transportation or from one railcar to another, they will need to re-open your settings and select the proper Wi-Fi network. 

Wi-Fi Lite relies on cellular-based technology and speeds will vary throughout the route. Downloading large files or streaming video is prohibited due to limited bandwidth. 

MARTA is expanding Wi-Fi and cellular services to include all 38 rail stations. Installation has been completed at Five Points, Peachtree Center, and Dome Stations. MARTA Mobility vehicles will have access by mid-year.  

As with any Wi-Fi source, MARTA riders are asked to be cautious about transactions performed and information they choose to share.  

Customers are encouraged to download MARTA’s On-The-Go app for up-to-date service information and schedule changes.
