- Green Zone: Routes serving park-and-ride locations closer to Atlanta.
- Blue Zone: Routes serving park-and-ride locations further away from Atlanta.
Each zone has a different fare price. To determine which zone your route falls into, scroll down for a detailed list of park-and-ride locations and their corresponding zones. You can buy passes for 1-trip, round trip, 10-trips, or 31-days for both green and blue zone routes.
