Just compared MARTA vs driving to the airport for a 6am flight...

Took MARTA to Hartsfield-Jackson for a 6am flight last week and it cost me $2.50. Driving would've been $28 for parking plus gas. The train was on time and I walked right to security. Has anyone else made the switch and saved some cash?

MARTA to the airport is a no brainer honestly. Way cheaper.

Has anyone actually looked into how the timing lines up? I took MARTA once and got stuck waiting 20 minutes for the next train because I missed the schedule by 5 minutes. If you're running late for a flight, that wait can cost you way more than the $30 you saved on a rideshare. Plus you gotta factor in dragging luggage up those stairs at some stations. My buddy missed his flight because he went with MARTA and the train broke down between stations for 40 minutes. Just saying, cheaper doesn't always mean better when you've got a plane to catch.

Wait, have you actually taken MARTA to the airport recently though? I heard they changed the schedule and it's a lot less frequent now, especially on weekends.
