In September, about 2,600 respondents voted in the monthlong exterior design outreach campaign. The winning design, “Minimalist: Option A,” received 2,193 total votes, narrowly beating “Flowing Ribbons: Option A,” which garnered 2,186 votes. MARTA’s three iconic colors will flow in a strip along the vehicles’ flanks, carrying your eye down the length of the train and highlighting the aerodynamic design.ĭuring the first phase of “Your Ride, You Decide” campaign in May 2021, more than 1,300 people voted online or in-person at MARTA stations on the interior design features. Not to be outdone, the exterior of the new rail cars is an understated work of art. The most prominent feature is on the front of the train, where a lighted “smile” denotes the color of the respective rail line - Red, Gold, Green or Blue - so riders will know from a distance that their train is approaching.
Other upgrades such as wind screens near the train doors and improved heating, cooling and lighting systems will also enhance the commuting experience.
For example, the train interiors will have open gangways that enable riders to move freely between cars, forward and inward-facing seating options, spacious luggage and bicycle areas and large, Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant (ADA) doorways and spaces.Ĭustomers will also benefit from conveniently placed mobile device charging stations throughout the rail cars and digital system maps and screens that display timely transit service information.
