MARTA riders will have additional places to purchase their fares through the end of the year.
The transit system will have pop-up shops located throughout Clayton, DeKalb and Fulton counties, spokeswoman Stephany Fisher said. Right now, riders can purchase fares online, at RideStores or at vending machines inside MARTA stations.
“The pop-up locations offer a more convenient option for bus-only riders, seniors, the disabled and others who prefer not to wait for delivery of cards purchased online,” Fisher said in a statement. “The community locations also increase options for those eligible for reduced fare cards, as applications are typically only available at two locations.”

Virgil Fludd, MARTA’s assistant general manager of external affairs and communications, said MARTA decided to start pop-up retail locations after seeing their success in other industries.
“We believe that bringing MARTA to the communities we serve is good customer service, and that always makes good business sense,” Fludd said.
