Combined Ridership (unlinked trips)
Definition: Unlinked trips are counted each time passengers board MARTA vehicles (for example, a passenger’s journey from the Airport station to the final destination may require two unlinked trips - taking a train to a station and then transferring to a bus to complete the one-way travel).
Performance (September 2024):
Combined Ridership for the month of September was 5.5 million unlinked passenger boardings, falling short of the forecast by 0.7 million. The 2025 Fiscal Year-to-Date (months of July through September) Combined Ridership of 16.8 million unlinked trips fell short of the forecast by 1.3 million.
