Arts Center is an underground station with four levels: the platform level, the mezzanine level with fare gates facing onto West Peachtree Street, bus bays for bus feeder routes, and the upper level which is located across the street from the Woodruff Arts Center. This is the seventh-busiest station in the MARTA system, handling an average of 6,605 entries per weekday.

Arts Center is MARTA rail's primary connecting point to Peachtree station, Atlanta's current Amtrak intercity rail station, located approximately one mile to the north. MARTA's Route 110 bus to Buckhead provides direct service from Arts Center to Peachtree station and points north.[3]

There is also a Zipcar parked in the parking lot.

History edit

The Arts Center Station was opened on December 18, 1982, the same day as the Midtown Station.[4] It served as the northern terminus for both the Gold and Red Lines(at that time called the Northeast-South Line and North-South Line, respectively) until December 15, 1984, when the Brookhaven/Oglethorpe and Lindbergh Center Stations became the new Gold and Red Lines northern terminus, respectively until future expansion expanded the lines yet again.

Just north of the Arts Center Station is a stub provision for the unbuilt Northwest Line, which was originally intended to run to Cobb County, but when Cobb County failed to pass a referendum for the 1% sales tax necessary to participate in MARTA, the line was truncated to a two-station spur serving the Brookwood neighborhood and Northside Drive. Eventually, the proposed branch was cancelled in favor of expanding the Red Line (then the North-South line) past the Buckhead station to Sandy Springs, and Dunwoody.[5]
