## Every way to travel

### [MARTA Trains](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/marta-rail/) rail

- **Board at:** Airport Station, on the west end of the Domestic Terminal between the north and south baggage claims
- **Route:** The last station at the south end of the Red and Gold lines. It terminates at the Domestic Terminal, so anyone flying internationally lands at the wrong building and has to take the free shuttle across. After the rush, reaching Buckhead, Medical Center, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs or North Springs can mean riding the Gold train and changing to the Red at Lindbergh Center.
- **Fare:** Standard fare 2.50 dollars, with up to four free transfers within three hours.

### [International Terminal shuttle](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/international-terminal-shuttle/) bus

- **Board at:** Just outside baggage claim at the Domestic Terminal
- **Route:** A free bus between the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal and the Domestic Terminal. From the international side it leaves from the curb outside the terminal and drops passengers at the west end of the Domestic Terminal; the Plane Train also links the two. Separate designated shuttles run from the international arrivals level to the Rental Car Center and to the Domestic Terminal ground transportation center, which has the MARTA station.
- **Fare:** Free
- **Frequency:** About every 15 minutes
- **Hours:** 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

### [SkyTrain](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/skytrain/) people mover

- **Board at:** Just outside baggage claim at the Domestic Terminal
- **Route:** The connector out to the rental car centre, boarded in the same place as the international shuttle just outside baggage claim. ATL's fact sheet says it reaches the Rental Car Center, the Georgia International Convention Center, hotels and office buildings in five minutes, and the West Deck in a two-minute ride.
- **Fare:** Free
