MARTA’s credit and debit fare system is back online after an interruption Monday, according to the transit agency.

The agency’s notification, issued shortly before 2 p.m., attributed the problem to a “network issue.”

Customers were still able to use cash to purchase fare.

“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this brief interruption with our credit/debit service,” a spokesman said in an email.
