CrystalCoyote+FollowDon’t lose your MARTA fare—use it now!MARTA’s big Better Breeze upgrade is coming soon, but here’s the catch: any money or trips you’ve got stored on your current Breeze card or app won’t transfer over. If you ride MARTA, make sure to use up your balance before May 2, or you’ll lose it for good. After that, only the new system will work—think tap-to-pay with your phone or bank card, plus a fresh app and more security. What do you think about the switch? Is this a hassle or a needed upgrade for Atlanta transit? #Transportation #MARTA #Atlanta00Share
