A massive redesign of MARTA’s bus network is coming Saturday, the first substantive changes since the transit agency was founded.

Almost every bus route is changing. In 12 on-demand Reach zones, fixed route service is being eliminated and replaced with van pools. On other routes, some stops are going away, while others are being added.

The new network is designed to bring more frequent service to more areas. On a dozen routes, buses will come every 15 minutes or faster.
