If your main obstacle to taking public transportation is the bus stop, here’s your chance to change that.
The MARTA Army, an independent nonprofit committed to improving your ridership experience on Atlanta’s mass transit system, has launched Operation Bus Stop Census so riders can make their voices heard.

Now you can tell MARTA what it’s really like to catch the bus. Is there a sidewalk or do you have to stand in weeds? Is there any shade during Atlanta’s brutal summer? Does your stop have older residents but nowhere for them to sit?
Let MARTA know. Here’s how it works.
Go to busstopcensus.com and click "Start." You should see a map with MARTA's train stations and park & ride lots. Click on the one you use. Now you should see bus stops that service that station. Find yours. When you click the blue indicator, you'll see a link for "Take the Bus Stop Census." Click it and fill out the form. It's that easy.
