FAQ

What is marta.fail?

Is marta.fail affiliated with MARTA?

Why is this service needed?

MARTA only provides service updates via an email or text service - or, occasionally through the service formally known as Twitter. marta.fail provides a more modern, social media-based way to receive these updates.

How can I support this project?

You can support us through our Ko-fi link above. Thank you for your generosity!

Why are the individual alerts hosted at different subdomains (rail.marta.fail, bus1.marta.fail, etc.)?

There are limitations in the BlueSky PDS that limit the number of new accounts created to 100. To work around this, the routes/lines are hosted on different PDSes.

Who is in charge here? I want to talk to the manager.

Sir, this is not a Wendy's. 🍔 (However, you can email support@theatl.social with any questions.)
