Per
WSBTV,
MARTA is shaking things up to improve service by:
- partnering with Uber and
- adding free Wi-Fi to ~50 buses
The partnership consists of offering links to Uber directly from MARTA's website (as well as a link to a $20 off coupon for first-time Uber users, promo code = marta). Uber is often characterized as a dreaded competitor by established transportation providers. However, Uber's popularity continues to grow, and it's sMARTA to acknowledge that Uber may be a stepping stone to increased ridership.
