Indian Creek Marta Station is the starting point (or end point depending on how you look at it) to the blue line of the marta route. Getting on this train can get you in Atlanta within 25 minutes or so, passing you through Decatur, Inman park or connecting you up to five points stations where you can connect to the airport or beyond.
There is a huge, free parking lot here (more than 2000 spaces), that at one time was filled completely on a daily basis, but only gets crammed when there's special events (games, races, outdoor events, etc).
There is a second parking lot that isn't connected with the main lot. This second lot has direct access via I-285 northbound (exit 42), but travelers can only exit via 285 southbound. If you'd like to continue on 285 north, your best bet is to exit via the Durham park road exit, although there's another exit via redan road too.
There are bus services here:
24-Hosea L Williams Dr/McAfee Rd
111-Snapfinger Woods Dr. /Stonecrest
115-Covington Highway/South Hairston Rd
116-Redan Road / Stonecrest
119-Kensington/Hairston Rd.
Taxi cabs also line the curb near the exit of the station and there's a kiss ride area near the entrance, where your ride can idle for a few minutes to pick you up. Police also populate this area and are visible, but keep your eyes open all the same.
Well placed Marta station that could be better but does the job for those who use it on the daily or just those who need to get into Atlanta without driving read more
