On April 18th, MARTA will roll out a redesigned bus system focused on more frequent service on key corridors, making it easier for riders to show up and go without checking a schedule.

The redesign also introduces MARTA Reach — a shuttle service that riders can request on demand in certain zones where traditional bus routes have been cut.

Today we’re talking with Andrew Pofahl, a MARTA Project Manager, and Andy McBurney, a MARTA Service Manager, about what this redesign means for transit riders in Atlanta.
