The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

Starting This Saturday:
Fare Required
Rail station gates and doors left open since May 2 will close Saturday, May
30
MARTA will close new fare gates and emergency doors that have been left
open since May 2, and *fare will be required* to ride the system beginning
May 30. MARTA extended the customer grace period scheduled to end May 2,
leaving new fare gates and emergency exit doors open to allow access to the
system for those who had not had an opportunity to purchase fare or were
still unfamiliar with the new Breeze system.
Starting Saturday, May 30, new fare gates and emergency doors at rail
stations with new fare gates will close and customers will need to tap to
ride with a bank card, mobile wallet, or new Breeze card or ticket.
Ways to pay fare:
Bank Card
Tap directly at station faregates and bus validators. Make sure your credit
or debit card is tap-enabled. Mastercard, VISA, American Express, and
Discover are accepted.
