The fare is $2.50, Five Points is 17 minutes away, and the last Gold train leaves at 1:20 a.m. Published November 15, 2026 ![Steel supports and a service pipe along the rough granite wall beside the track at MARTA's Peachtree Center station in Atlanta.](https://atlairportguide.com/images/atl/lindbergh-center-station-entrance-v18.webp) Peachtree Center station, carved through rock [Every way into town, compared](https://atlairportguide.com/to/): Pick where you are going: time, cost, and the first and last departure for each way. MARTA’s [Airport Station](https://atlairportguide.com/venues/marta-airport-station/) is inside the Domestic Terminal, between the North and South baggage claims. The standard fare is $2.50. The [Red and Gold lines](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/marta-rail/) both run from there through Midtown to Lindbergh Center, then split. On the weekday timetable the last Gold train leaves at 1:20 a.m. and the last Red train at 8:50 p.m. ## First and last trains from Airport Station These times come from MARTA’s Gold and Red line timetables. Airport is the end of both lines, so every train leaves heading north. | Day | First train | Last train | How often | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Weekday | Red 4:46 a.m., Gold 4:36 a.m. | Red 8:50 p.m., Gold 1:20 a.m. | Each line every 10 minutes at the peaks, 12 midday, 15 to 20 in the evening | | Saturday and Sunday | Red 5:52 a.m., Gold 6:00 a.m. | Red 1:10 a.m., Gold 1:20 a.m. | Each line every 15 minutes through the day | Red and Gold alternate between Airport and Lindbergh Center, so on a weekday midday a train leaves about every 6 minutes. ATL’s directory lists the station as open 24 hours, but the timetable shows no departures between the last train and the first. The last arrivals at Airport are 2:06 a.m. on the Gold line on weekdays and 1:54 a.m. on the Red line on weekends. Holidays run modified schedules, and MARTA’s holiday page lists them. Before you rely on a train, check MARTA’s Gold and Red line pages for the Airport Station closure notice and its dates. ## Red and Gold share 14 stations, then split | Station | Line | Minutes from Airport | | --- | --- | --- | | College Park | Both | 2 | | East Point | Both | 5 | | Five Points | Both | 17 | | Peachtree Center | Both | 18 | | Midtown | Both | 22 | | Lindbergh Center | Both | 28 | | Lenox | Gold | 31 | | Buckhead | Red | 32 | | Doraville | Gold | 41 | | North Springs | Red | 43 | The minutes are from a weekday midday trip on MARTA’s timetable. Saturday trips run a few minutes longer to the farther stations. If you’d rather park and ride, College Park is the first stop from Airport, and our [College Park Park & Ride page](https://atlairportguide.com/parking/college-park-park-and-ride/) lists the lot. ## Transfers, and the Lindbergh Center change after 8:30 p.m. Each fare includes up to four transfers within three hours, between buses and trains. You have to tap the same payment method each time, and a debit card and a phone wallet linked to one account count as different methods. Transfers don’t cover a round trip, so you can’t leave a route and board the same route again later without paying. MARTA says that after 8:30 p.m. you may need to ride the Gold train from the airport to Lindbergh Center and change to a Red train for Buckhead, Medical Center, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs or North Springs. ## What it costs | Fare | Price | | --- | --- | | Standard, one way | $2.50 | | Reduced, for over-65s, Medicare holders and people with disabilities | $1.00 | | Children 46 inches and under | Free, up to two per paying adult | | 1-Day (24-hour) Pass | $9.00 | | 3-Day Pass | $16.00 | | 7-Day Pass | $23.75 | A round trip is $5, so a 1-Day Pass pays off only on your fourth ride. A Breeze Ticket, the paper option for visitors, costs $1 on top of the fare. It can’t be reloaded and expires in 90 days. MARTA’s airport page lists a full-service RideStore at the Airport Station. ## If you’re flying from the International Terminal MARTA ends at the Domestic Terminal. A free shuttle runs between the terminals around the clock, and the trip takes 15 minutes, per MARTA. Our [International Terminal shuttle page](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/international-terminal-shuttle/) has the stop. ### Sources - Our [Airport Station listing](https://atlairportguide.com/venues/marta-airport-station/), [MARTA rail page](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/marta-rail/), [International Terminal shuttle page](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/international-terminal-shuttle/) and [College Park Park & Ride page](https://atlairportguide.com/parking/college-park-park-and-ride/) - MARTA’s Gold Line page and timetable - MARTA’s Red Line page and timetable - MARTA’s fares and transfers page - MARTA’s Breeze tickets page - MARTA’s holiday operating schedule - MARTA’s airport page
