Welcome to "Actual Factual," a column in which I answer reader questions about goings-on in Atlanta. Here's one I did about why Atlanta planners are fighting to save this funeral home building.
Now that you're familiar, you'll find information for submitting your own questions at the bottom of this column.
Question: Are pets allowed on MARTA?
A simple enough question, with a simple enough answer.
Yes, pets can ride on the train. However, only service animals that assist people with disabilities are allowed to ride unconfined on MARTA trains and buses.
Other pets are allowed to join riders only if they are carried in a secure, rigid pet carrier with a lock or latch from which the animal "cannot escape," the website says.
