The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority announced that some of its express buses will be rerouted, and passengers should expect delays.

GRTA also will run additional coaches from the Hamilton Mill and Sugarloaf Mills Park-and-Rides directly to the Doraville MARTA station for those customers who prefer to use MARTA – which the agency encourages.

GRTA announced that Friday afternoon and evening Xpress service will continue to run with the following changes:

  • Routes 411, 412, 413, 414, 416, will travel an alternate route along I-285 and I-20 to and from Atlanta. Downtown and Midtown stops will be served but customers should expect delays.
  • Routes 410 will only serve the Doraville MARTA station
  • Routes 400 and 401 will only pick-up customers at the North Springs MARTA station.
  • Additional coaches to the Hamilton Mill and Sugarloaf Mills Park-and-Rides will run directly from the Doraville MARTA station
