Uh oh, MARTA's Summerhill bus rapid transit line will not open this year (not even partially).

Advance Atlanta on Instagram: "đ On Monday, @martatransit officials announced that the Rapid A-Line project, previously referred to as #MARTA Rapid Summerhill, has been delayed due to construction issues. đ The highly anticipated 2025 launch of the Bus Rapid #Transit (#BRT) service in #Atlanta, connecting #Downtown and #Peoplestown, is no longer feasible. MARTA has not revealed a new date since postponing and are reportedly collecting updates from contractors, the city and the Federal Transit Administration to determine when riders will be able to access the BRT. âïž Construction has only been paused at one station, South Downtown (on Mitchell Street at Forsyth Street), as work continues at the other #stations and the #roadway included within the plan."
