MARTA saw steady growth in the use of its on-demand shuttle service during a six-month pilot program that ended in August.
The MARTA Reach program launched in March in three metro Atlanta neighborhoods and was expanded a few months later to more areas.
It was designed to connect riders to bus and rail service. The shuttle rides cost $2.50 cents, the same as a normal bus fare.
MARTA says use of the on-demand service grew from fewer than a hundred rides per week at the beginning to 600 rides a week by early August.
