Re: [85attendees] ATL Travel Items (fwd)

The station called Airport - the Southern end of the red and yellow lines. Both lines share the same route past Peachtree station so you can take any train from the airport.

Hi Guys,

Been working on this for some time and as per my findings if you want to travel using MARTA then use their website http://www.itsmarta.com/ for exact route and timings, below route gives the trip details relating to my arrival at 6 am, also you have to buy the Breeze card and Breeze tickets are not being sold anymore, so for one way trip its 2.50 + 1 = 3.50, I'm planning to buy a 7-Day Pass (unlimited rides) for 23.75

Plus its very simple to get directions to HIlton once you get out of the hotel, just mark some land marks on google earth for turnings like SunTrust bank and you'll be fine.

Here are the directions from Peachtree Station to the Hilton from the Atlanta Hilton website:

"Take the train north and exit at Peachtree Center Station. Take the Harris Street escalator or follow the directions for Peachtree Center Mall. You will go up a very steep escalator into the Mall. Take the walkway from the Mall to the parking garage. Take the elevator to the street. The hotel is on your right when you exit the garage."

For domestic passengers go downstairs to the interterminal train and take
it to the terminal, a/k/a the T concourse.  You can walk from there to the
MARTA station and to shuttles and taxi.

For international passengers, due to stupid TSA rules you're considered
not to have gone through security after you emerge from customs so you
can't take the interterminal train.  You can take a free bus from the
Red/zone 3 area of the curb to the domestic terminal or there are shuttles
in the Green/zone 4 area that are supposed to take you downtown.  I
wouldn't know, I always take the subway.

One you're at the domestic terminal, to take the subway, unless you have a
Breeze card, buy a ticket for $2.50 from a machine at the subway station,
and take any train.  All trains from the airport stop at Peachtree Center.

The last train leaves at 01:18 weeknights, 01:00 Saturday and Sunday
nights. After that there's no reasonable alternative to a cab.

> Hilton from there.

It's less than a 10 minute walk.  Here's a map.

PS: Am I the only person arriving in Atlanta by long distance train?
