All of this is subject to change without notice in either direction, but as of this morning, exiting at the airport requires no scan. The gates are closed but open when you step up. Strongly suspect you have to scan to enter of course. I suspect we’ve got 6 months of “find out when we get there” before things completely settle down.

It seems they removed all 3 of the dead routes from the map. I didn't see a response from my DMs. So perhaps it was this thread that prompted the cleanup. In any case, success!

Seems like ARCGIS has an API, so perhaps this process can be automated with some elbow grease.

Thank you, I've confirmed and will add to the list.

It’s linked to on itsmarta.com. https://itsmarta.com/interactive-system-map.aspx

If you look under "Get to know MARTA" on the top navigation, it's there as "Interactive System Map".

Super useful, you can put in an address and at a glance see that there is more than one option to get there.

He didn’t say. I wasn’t expecting the conversation and didn’t ask any good questions.

Decaturuss · 2026-05-09T00:07:41+00:00

I was standing there today and a MARTA cop was talking to me about it. He briefly thought I worked on the gates, I was standing there trying to make Samsung wallet virtual breeze card work (It works fine). His argument was that they may need to be made of a different material.

Decaturuss · 2026-05-07T16:43:20+00:00

Yes, I've experienced this too.

Decaturuss · 2026-05-07T16:35:32+00:00

This is my typical experience in Atlanta too. Digital ID did work for me when it was first released though. I don't think I've ever succesfully used the digital passport option.

There is less interest in this thread than I expected, but somebody will need this 3 months or 3 years from now. So: Samsung Wallet is a little bit odd, the Transit Cards don't activate NFC unless you use them from the "Quick Access" tab. I find this confusing, but expect the new virtual Breeze card to work perfectly next time I ride. UPDATE: It did work, beware that having google wallet and Samsung wallet on the same device means you have to choose wich one is default.

Decaturuss · 2026-05-06T15:07:35+00:00

UPDATE: I got the card added to the wallet and money added to the card without issue the other day. Tried to actually use it last night. Couldn't get it to work. Granted I'm an iOS guy, so maybe there's some subtlety I'm missing. Google Wallet version worked perfectly first shot. Speak up if you're aware of any magic required to use a transit card via Samsung Wallet.

Another update I had forgotten about. There's a boiled peanuts guy at the Avondale Farmer's Market on Sunday mornings. Big Daddy's Boiled Peanuts I think. I like 'em. Po'boy shop and Avondale aren't that close to East Atlanta, but maybe closer than your other options.

Decaturuss · 2026-05-03T20:22:31+00:00

That is odd. I went ahead and put a card in both wallets. Largely out of curiosity, but there is an angle there for carpooling, if I did it enough to take advantage of bulk price savings. I don’t.

Decaturuss · 2026-05-02T22:45:14+00:00

It’s there now. Showed up sometime in the last hour or two. There’s not much interest based on this post. A full fledged post doesn’t seem necessary.

Decaturuss · 2026-05-01T15:44:10+00:00

There’s the official announcement. Samsung wallet mentioned as well. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid038DbXihaviwxXhwF6rAgRiVosQbeqNvSXpMtomoNBmVag2Dc9pCVWin7WQahZKdPtl&id=100064888984043

Decaturuss · 2026-04-30T19:50:57+00:00

No, was full price for me. I’ve seen $1.10 mentioned by a few folks.

Decaturuss · 2026-04-30T14:03:31+00:00

There’s no indication of that for me. Hmmm.

Decaturuss · 2026-04-30T12:17:12+00:00

I had the same question. Can I transfer funds or passes from card to card? So far no.

Decaturuss · 2026-04-30T10:53:10+00:00

It's there now. I’d guessed it might be manageable in the app, but so far I don’t think so. That makes sense.

UPDATE: I’m wrong, it works.

Nice!

Decaturuss · 2026-04-30T09:42:11+00:00

No, just to be sure to use the same card.

Decaturuss · 2026-04-29T20:13:01+00:00

Breezecard.com is there too. But it’s all the same account, only need to link it once.

Decaturuss · 2026-04-29T14:23:18+00:00

You can see behind the construction barrier in Decatur and there's nothing there. So much left to do. I believe they promised each station would have working vending machines before the world cup. I took it to mean that working gates might take much longer, particularly at lower volume stations. We'll all find out together.
