Breeze Card - Overview

Overview

The Breeze system uses a Breeze card. The card, made of plastic, is durable and can be purchased for $1. The card can be reloaded on a bus (cash only) or at a Breeze vending machine (BVM). There is also a ticket composed of coated paper around the RFID antenna, which cannot be purchased through MARTA's Vending Machines or Ridestores. Breeze tickets expire 90 days from the date they are purchased.

The fares are authenticated by RFID at the rail station fare gates or at the fare boxes in the buses. The cards are also used to receive transfers when riders tap to exit the rail station. Transfers are automatically loaded when riders tap their Breeze cards as they enter a bus.
