MARTA will launch four new bus routes in Clayton County and make a number of bus service improvements on other routes effective Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015.

The service changes come after a series of public hearings and community presentations in the Clayton, DeKalb and Fulton counties and the city of Atlanta. The agency is increasing the service frequency on several bus routes and making it more convenient for customers to transfer between bus and rail.

As part of its second phase of expansion to Clayton County, MARTA will add Bus Routes 191, 193 and 195 in Clayton with Monday-Sunday service.

Route 800, a circulator route between the City of Lovejoy and the Jonesboro Justice Center to better connect residents to MARTA’s fixed-route buses within Clayton County, will operate Monday-Saturday.

Route 191: The new route will provide service from the Clayton County Justice Center to the international arrivals level at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Route 193: The new route will provide service from the Clayton County Justice Center to MARTA's East Point station.

Route 195: The new route will provide service from Anvil Block Road and Lunsford Drive to MARTA's College Park station. This will be the second Clayton County bus route servicing the College Park station.

Route 800: The new route will operate Monday through Saturday every 60 minutes from the City of Lovejoy and the Jonesboro Justice Center. Weekday service will run from 5:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This route will not operate Sunday service.

A one-way fare is $2.50, plus a $1 charge for a permanent Breeze card. Customers using a Breeze card will receive a free transfer to another bus or rail station. Real-time arrivals for the new Clayton routes will be available via MARTA’s On the Go mobile app.
