New MARTA Bus Route Coming To Roswell

ROSWELL, GA -- MARTA will begin a new bus route in Roswell next month, the city said Thursday. The transit authority's Board of Directors voted to add bus service to the Holcomb Bridge Road corridor east of Ga. 400. This route, designated as Route 142, will begin Monday, Dec. 11, and start at Mansell Road Park & Ride Lot.

The route will travel south on Georgia 400 to Holcomb Bridge Road and then goes east on Holcomb Bridge Road to Spalding Drive and River Exchange Drive in Sandy Springs before returning to the Mansell Park & Ride Lot. There, passengers can transfer to other bus routes that serve north Fulton County or to the North Springs MARTA Station for rail service.

“This is one of the more heavily traveled areas of north Fulton County,” said MARTA Assistant General Manger Ben Limmer. “An additional bus route will provide a transportation option and reduce the number of cars on the road in an already congested area.”

The new route will run on weekdays only, from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Service will be every 30 minutes during morning and evening peak times and every 40 minutes during midday.

MARTA is installing new bus stop signs along the route to direct riders. Visit www.itsmarta.com for a bus timetable of the new route.
