MARTA Implements New Breeze Fare System, Reinstates Fare Requirements
MARTA has resumed fare requirements as the new Breeze fare gate system is fully activated across all rail stations. The transit authority announced that the new fare gates and emergency exit doors, which were left open during a customer transition period, will now be closed. Riders must tap to enter stations using a compatible payment method, such as credit or debit cards, mobile wallets, or new Breeze cards. The old Breeze cards and the Breeze Mobile 2.0 app are no longer accepted. MARTA has warned against fare evasion and vandalism, noting that stations are monitored with hundreds of cameras. This change is part of MARTA's broader modernization efforts, which include upgrades to fare technology and station infrastructure.
