Regional Transfer Policies

Your Breeze Card must have an operator-specific fare product or stored cash value in its purse to begin a trip. You may transfer for free to (or from) a MARTA rail/bus service from any of the suburban/express transit providers (GCT, CCT, or GRTA Xpress). However, regional transfer policies do not allow direct free transfers between the suburban/express transit providers. You must travel on MARTA directly before or after one of the suburban/express transit providers in order to collect a free transfer.

Note:If you do not have a Breeze Card, you will have to pay the full-priced fare for each transit service you board.

Transfer Information

GRTA Xpress, CCT, and GCT all have connection points at major MARTA stations to allow convenient access for passengers to connect to/from MARTA's extensive rail and bus network.

The Breeze Card... your all-access pass!

Breeze is accepted on all transit services, and riders must use the Breeze Card if they want to transfer between systems. In many cases, customers can get free transfers between MARTA and the other services if they have purchased an individual agency's fare products on Breeze.
