    UPDATED: MARTA Bus Route #2 Will Extend to Decatur in June

    Decatur Metro | April 27, 2011

    “Updated” sounds so much better than “correction”, doesn’t it?

    After posting the new map routes for MARTA bus route #2 a few days back, which seemed to indicate that changes to the route wouldn’t include a return to Decatur as first anticipated by many, Jerry sent me a note saying I should double-check with MARTA.  Good thing he did!  Here’s the official MARTA summary of Bus Route #2’s future….

    Route 2-Ponce de Leon Avenue has undergone several modifications since the implementation of service reductions on September 25, 2010. First, as part of the service modifications being implemented on April 23, 2011, the service frequencies on Route 2-Ponce de Leon were improved to provide adequate service levels to accommodate the alternating trips to/from North Avenue Station via Ponce de Leon Avenue and North Avenue. Then, as part of our June 18, 2011 service changes, Route 2-Ponce de Leon will be extended to Decatur Station via North Avenue, Boulevard and Ponce de Leon Avenue. The service from North Avenue Station along Ponce de Leon Avenue to Candler Park Station will remain unchanged. Route 2 will alternate trips between Candler Park Station and Decatur Station.

      It’s nice to see some of the service reductions being restored! But I dislike their tendency to alternate routes – it just makes two subpar routes when you could have one decent one.

      Yay! I’ll be able to get to Fernbank via MARTA again. Good news.

      One of the major reasons I moved into my place in Decatur was the #2. Glad to have it back.
