Overview
MARTA is building a transit hub at The Mall at Stonecrest, in the City of Stonecrest. The location is currently served by four popular MARTA routes (Routes 86, 111, 115, and 116), but lacks the centralized infrastructure needed to facilitate safe and efficient transfers for customers.
The future transit hub will create a central connection where different modes of transportation, such as pedestrians, bicycles, and mobility-on-demand services can seamlessly connect to MARTA’s current bus and mobility services.
