It varies on the weekends so just double check the schedule here http://itsmarta.com/Lenox.aspx This is the stop if you're going to some of the nearby hotels or to Lenox mall.

There is parking here (short term/long term) The couple of times that I've been at this station there were people walking around begging for change (at the station and on the train itself). Otherwise this station is kept pretty clean. When the weather is bad or raining you need to be aware there are no real places to go for shelter. You wanna dress appropriately for it. Otherwise on the plus side there is a Dunkin Donuts about 3 minutes walk from here. Here are some general information about Marta that might be helpful. Marta's Gold Line stops are: 1. Doraville 2.

I regularly use the Marta Gold line, the cleanest and busiest stations are Lindberg, Lenox,…read moreBrookhaven, Chamblee and, believe it or not, the Doraville station is probably the best kept. So this review is about the Doraville station, then the others and what to expect. The Doraville station bathrooms have been renovated, but you do have to call to be buzzed in, because it would be a fetid shit hole otherwise thanks to the homeless. Gwinette voted down Marta expansion, yet they have taken over the Doraville station. So if you are going to an event intown, you better get there a little early to get a parking space. If full, go to the Chamblee station close by. For FIFA the Doraviile station filled up quick. Arts Center, Midtown, North Avenue and Civic center are ghost towns. Marta should close the North Avenue and Civic Station because no one uses them. South of 5 Points its the ghetto stations, no way am I using Marta in this part of town at night. Recommendations for the best experience: board the front car with the conductor, check your seat and floor before you sit, because you may be stepping or sitting in a piss pool. If you sense danger or just nut case annoying passengers, change cars at the next station. Don't make eye contact and always be alert of your surroundings. That being said Atlanta is big city living, pretty much the same public transportation bullshit as other major cities. Get street wise

Rating is for Marta overall mainly gold & red line. In leu of Peachtree road race 2025 our family…read morehad the smart idea to park at Marta then ride and walk to the hotel. This cuts out the $50 a day for hotel parking, the Doraville station has surface & parking deck areas, two nights was $16. Lenox station is cheaper FYI. I had only rode Marta one other time before this and it was over 10 years prior, I was mainly traveling solo on Marta this time. For the Doraville station be sure not to park in the front parking as this is NOT overnight and you will be towed. The ticketed parking is just beside with minimal security. Doraville is the gold line that goes into Lenox where the race starts; our stop was Peachtree center. The trick to going from Peachtree back to Lenox is to know that both red & gold run on same track, which I didn't. I got on the train saying North Springs and ended up at Medical Center before realized, rode back to Lindbergh then gold to Lenox. The train itself is minimally occupied unless a big event is going on. It was somewhat clean as meaning no visible trash. There are homeless persons all around the escalators underground and you may get accosted on the platform but just be smart. I put the Breeze mobile app on and bought 3 day pass for $16, my main issue was the QR code picking up on the scanner. Every time I dreaded it because would never scan on first, 2nd, maybe 3rd try if was lucky. Overall IMO, Marta is a deal at $2.50 to go all over the city pretty quickly. It can be a little sketchy at night but just be aware of surroundings.

I use this Marta Station for convenience when I volunteer in downtown Decatur. Straight shot for me…read moreno transfer or bus. The free parking is a plus. 2 parking lots one on MLKing dr and the other right by I-20. Off Hamilton E. Holmes dr. (Actual street name i have no idea and I'm from Atlanta and I pass it every day to and from work) I get a Breeze card from the kiosks along the walls when you come in. From either side of station. Ioad mine with 2 trips $5.00. This is cheaper than Uber/Lyft. Only down is depending on Rush hour tines morning or afternoon it can get crowded like a sardine can. Not to mention rude rowdy younger generation. I will continue to use Marta it is Smarter.

There are couple of card machines outside and out of the 4 machines only one worked. Once we were in, my kid need to go to restroom, I was looking for it and found that the restroom was locked and I had to press a button to talk to someone to open the door. It was just a maze to use the tap and soap. Even for an adult it is difficult, my kid tried to wash and the sensor was misfiring and got water all over him. Quite interesting design and not a fan of it. The train was good and our kids enjoyed the ride to five points.

This felt like NYC marathon but in ATL. 50k runners and the train station totally resembled the metro in NYC :) Runners everywhere! Such a fun morning! We took a MARTA shuttle from Piedmont Park to Lindbergh then rode one stop. We told ourselves we'd jog back from Lindbergh instead of taking it a single stop (a couple of miles) but didn't want to be "those" ;) people after the race, jogging back from it. It was warm out and quite frankly I love riding the train. I thought it may be a hassle but proved to be the epitome of smooth, and convenient.

Red Line - North to North Springs, South to the Airport…read more I've pivoted from Sandy Springs to here & it still provides me with an easy commute to downtown. Unfortunately, the location of a station usually determines the level of upkeep & cleanliness. For the most part, the stations from Buckhead to North Springs are in pretty good condition with ample places to sit & such. Station Highlights: *Daily & long-term parking - free for less than 24 hours *Local, regional & shuttle bus connections *Surrounded by Perimeter Mall, the central business district, numerous restaurants & multi-family residential areas. *Outdoor platform with various sheltered seating. Both Marta & Dunwoody Law Enforcement are present here, perhaps due to the annex to Perimeter Mall.

Five Points MARTA Station is the only station where MARTA riders can transfer from the trains going…read morein the north/south directions to the east/west directions and vice versa. Because of this, it's the busiest train station, based on entries and exits, in the MARTA system. Employees try to keep this station clean, but with so many train riders passing through, the station is sometimes dirty. I personally have been in this station only to transfer to another train going in a different direction, and have never physically entered or exited the station using the gates. In this station, the north/south trains of the Red line and the north-east/south trains of the Gold line run on the tracks in the lower level. The east/west trains of the Green and the Blue lines run on the tracks in the upper level. Multiple escalators, stairways and elevators allow MARTA customers to move from one level to the other. Just a word of caution: If you're slow moving and you're transferring to another level, wait until most of the crowd gets ahead of you. Otherwise, you may get pushed and jostled by people hurrying to get by you. This is especially true if you're transferring to another train either before or after an event at either State Farm Arena, Mercedes-Benz Stadium or Georgia World Congress Center. Signage is accurate and helpful, but you have to know in which direction you want to travel to prevent confusion. Electronic signs in the stations let riders know the approximate remaining wait times for the arriving trains. A PA announcement lets everyone in the station which train is arriving. Both levels in this station are well lit, and there are few concrete benches to sit on while waiting for trains to arrive. Just like in every train station, MARTA customers need to ensure their safety by being aware of their surroundings and not stand too close to the train tracks.

It's been over a decade since I've ridden Marta and I was impressed how they've kept the prices…read morelow. It's only $2.50 per ride plus $1 for the ticket. You can go from any point A to point B for the same fare. It's very clean unlike other subway systems in the country (e.g. NYC) and the rules posted discourage any bad behavior. I took Marta most places while I was in Atlanta and never felt unsafe. It is a super-efficient and cost effective way to get around.

This was our home station while in Atlanta and it was pretty convenient all around…read more The station is pretty large but there is a lot of signage to ensure you are getting to where you are going in the most efficient way. When we first got off the train, we didn't look at the signs and just exited to the street so we ended up walking a lot more the first day but once you realize all the demarcations, you'll be fine. We actually found an exit closer to our hotel, without having to walk up hill. SCORE!!! The station looks clean and feels pretty safe. I agree that it's a bit dark but I kind of think it adds to the charm a bit. I love the monitors that let you know when the next train is coming. The escalators are interesting to say the least. They do take forever but they are very long and better than having to walk up 4 flights of stairs, especially with baggage. And once we found the exit that didn't involve a hill, the escalator in that area was a bit shorter.

There was some old lady making a nuisance of herself by the gates and the lone staff member on duty was trying to ignore her. As I passed through the gate the lady slipped through behind me and I said she should probably buy a ticket and she told me to mind my own damn business. I would have, if she didn't use me to skip paying for the train fare. I bet her plan was to follow someone else out at her stop because you need to use your ticket to enter and exit the stations. When we got on the train the lady was babbling to herself the entire time. I don't think she was all there in the head. At least this train didn't smell like pee. There was no ventilation so it was very stuffy despite the cooler temperatures of the early morning.
