If you wake up too early to ride MARTA, then we’ve got some big news for you!

ASAP is thrilled to introduce MARTA Connect, a partnership with Uber and Lyft. MARTA Connect provides commuters like you with greater flexibility and more options for your transportation needs.

Use MARTA Connect and get an $8 daily credit for Uber or Lyft rides between 4:00 AM and 6:30 AM on weekdays. This credit will help you save money on transportation to those early morning commitments, then you can utilize MARTA trains and buses to get back home if you don’t have a ride.

 

How does MARTA Connect work?

Here are the steps to use MARTA Connect:

  1. Add the MARTA Connect pass/voucher to your account:
  2. Take an UberX or Standard Lyft ride between 4:00 AM and 6:30 AM, Monday to Friday only.
  3. An $8 credit will be applied to the ride. The remaining balance will be charged to your default payment method.

Who is MARTA Connect for?

MARTA Connect is tailored for Atlantic Station residents who face the challenge of early morning commutes and need reliable options for getting to work. If you wake up before the sun rises to get to work, MARTA Connect can be a game-changer for you. Whether you work in downtown Atlanta or any other location accessible through MARTA, this program can help you save money and make your daily commute more convenient.

Some early morning workers leave for work before MARTA has started running for the day, so a lot of them turn to Uber or Lyft as a result.

The new MARTA Connect service will make these regularly occurring trips more affordable with an $8 daily credit. Employees can then use MARTA trains and buses to get back home at the end of the day.
