Getting Around - MARTA (light rail)
[http://www.itsmarta.com/getthere/schedules/index-rail.htm MARTA] is the light rail system for getting around much of downtown Atlanta, including to the airport. The Westin Peachtree is across the street, to the left, from the Peachtree Center rail stop.
Purchase tickets in the "[http://www.itsmarta.com/howto/fares.htm Breeze]" machines. You can buy a one-way pass (with a magstrip) for $1.75 - $2.25. You can also buy a card with stored value if you plan on taking the train more than a few times; it's cheaper.
REMEMBER to keep your ticket with you - you will need it to exit the system at your destination.
