  • The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, more commonly called MARTA, is the largest public rapid-transit system (in both size and ridership) in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and the ninth largest in the United States. MARTA operates a network of bus routes linked to a heavy rail rapid transit system consiting of 48 miles (77 kilometers) of track with 38 train stations. As of 2006, the system has an average weekday ridership of 451,064 passengers. The MARTA acronym is pronounced as a single word, not as individual letters. MARTA is funded and operated by the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, DeKalb County and ClaytonCounty. As a result the MARTA system only operates within the boundaries of the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, DeKalb County, with bus and future rail in Clayton County and additional limited bus service to Cobb County. MARTA is the largest United States transit agency not to receive state operational funding. The other two largest counties in the metro Atlanta area, Cobb and Gwinnett, have refused to join or fund MARTA and as a result both have independent transit agencies which connect to MARTA. The continued refusal of neighboring counties to participate and the lack of state funding for operation of MARTA has limited the ability for a truly regional transportation system to be formed in Atlanta.
