Driving in Marietta:
Roads are very well marked and generally in excellent condition, and parking is plentiful, so driving is usually the best transportation option. Please note that rush hour traffic typically occurs on weekday mornings from 7:00am to 9:00am and on weekday afternoons from 4:00pm to 6:30pm.
Marietta is bisected by Interstate 75 and the original Dixie Highway (now known as U.S. 41 or Cobb Parkway) which run north and south through the city. Both of these routes make it very easy to get to any part of Marietta. In addition, Interstate 85 is only 15 miles to the east and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is only 30 minutes to the south.
Marietta Taxis:
It would be considered a very rare occurrence if you were able to walk outside and flag a taxi, so if you plan to use this mode of transportation you will need to schedule one in advance or call and be prepared to wait for between 5 and 30 minutes. There are many taxi companies to choose from in Marietta. Depending on where you are going, you may have a flat rate or a variable rate based on mileage and time.
Marietta Public Transportation:
Marietta is serviced by CCT (Cobb Community Transit) bus lines. If you are interested in going to Atlanta or other areas near Marietta, but out of Cobb County, you can take CCT to a transfer station at MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority). MARTA is the public transportation system for Metro Atlanta and uses both buses and trains. To transfer onto MARTA, you can take CCT to a MARTA station and you are only charged once for the CCT fare. There is no transfer fee when going from CCT to MARTA. With CCT, there is no service on Sundays and some holidays, including New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
