MARTA will operate its rail, bus and paratransit services as scheduled Wednesday night despite Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms' decision to impose a 9 p.m. curfew. The agency will not operate its streetcar service.

MARTA said any service adjustments will be announced through social media, its MARTA app and its web site.

The agency suspended its service at 9 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday amid protests sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
