MARTA #2 Bus Line Won’t Be Coming Back to Decatur As First Thought
Decatur Metro | April 22, 2011
Steve points out that the newly released, revised bus map of MARTA Route #2 doesn’t, in fact, bring the bus back to Decatur Station, as was the original plan. Here’s MARTA’s description of the approved change…
Weekday service frequencies will be improved to operate every 15 minutes during the peak; every 25 minutes during the midday and 30 minutes during the evening periods. All trips will alternate between Ponce de Leon Avenue and North Avenue to/from North Avenue Station and Monroe Drive. Service along the afore- mentioned segments will operate 30 minutes peak; 50 minutes midday and 60 minutes during evening periods. Saturday and Sunday service frequencies will be adjusted to operate every 35 minutes with all trips alternating via Ponce de Leon Avenue and North Avenue to/from North Avenue Station.

I guess I’ll have to alter my bank job getaway plan.
There’s always bicycle!
Well, rats! :-(( ,,, this is truly disappointing!
Does Decatur have a database for collecting the “trips” citizens make? It might help route buses and plan for a circulator. (Maybe the Decatur GIS could factor in.)
I am diappointed for the folks who really needed or depended on the route down Ponce from Decatur to Highland. Personally I like (and use) the new route because it serves the Edgewood Center, L5P and Ponce Highlands area, from the Edggewood train station. Cool for me!!
I received an email over the weekend saying that they thought the ‘to Decatur’ portion of this route change wouldn’t happen until June. I’m checking with MARTA so I can stop confusing people!
