On Saturday, all buses will be rerouted or delayed due to the marathon. Also, none of CAT’s fixed-route buses will operate from the downtown Joe Murray River, Jr. Intermodal Center at 610 W. Oglethorpe Avenue. Normal service from the transit center will resume after the marathon is over and the streets are cleared for traffic. All streets should be open by 6 p.m.
During the marathon, temporary connecting areas will be set up on Anderson Street at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and at Jefferson Street and Jones Street for customers wishing to board CAT buses. CAT will operate smaller shuttles to and from the temporary areas to the transit center.
The downtown Dot shuttle will not operate during the marathon, but the Downtown Loop will resume service after the roads have been reopened to traffic. The Dot’s Forsyth Loop will not run on Saturday at all due to the scheduled events in the area.
