When Beyoncé brings her Renaissance World Tour to Downtown Atlanta, the Atlanta transit agency is expanding service to handle the expected large crowds before and after each of three shows.

The concerts will be 8 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday, Saturday and Monday.

Two hours before the concerts, MARTA will run a train shuttle between Five Points station and Mercedes-Benz station. After the concert, MARTA will place additional trains into service to help clear the crowds quickly and safely.

“New for this concert series, there will be bus shuttles from Vine City to West End stations for customers traveling south after the concerts,” MARTA announced in a statement. “Transit Ambassadors and MARTA police will be in rail stations to assist customers and Load and Go Teams will be on train platforms to help safely and efficiently get riders ‘in formation,’ if you will, and onto trains.”

MARTA riders can use the Breeze Mobile app to pay and ride. The app also serves as a transit pass, the agency says.
