If I were traveling from the Airport to the Perimeter area, which Marta station would be best to hop off at in order to catch an Uber ride to reach my final destination in the Johns Creek area?

Summary -

I fly into Hartsfield, take Marta to ?, call Uber and have them take me the rest of the way to Johns Creek.

*I'd prefer to avoid the Doraville station.

Thanks!

The cheapest Uber fare to Johns Creek is going to be from Doraville Station at like $16-17, but Chamblee is only like a dollar higher. North Springs and Sandy Springs are a few dollars more and would require changing trains if it's after 9pm. Obviously prices may vary depending on what time you're getting in. That's for UberX, it's cheaper if you do Uber Pool... but I don't.

Yeah, it's right on GA 400. Looks like a 10 minute wait there for an Uber right now.

Thanks, I was thinking North Springs only had access via 400, but I see from the map there's an access road from Peachtree Dunwoody. Thanks!

Where in Johns Creek are you going? That makes a big difference. Doraville station gives you the fastest access to Peachtree Industrial or 141 which is a straighter shot into Johns Creek. The drop off lot is small and the station exit gives you quick access to external sidewalks, so you can easily hop across the street to wait for your Uber.

I've always disliked the you-can-go-any-direction-you-want-as-long-as-its-north design of the North Springs station. Even after you get up GA400 you have to tack east at least 3 miles down Holcomb br rd+Old Alabama or down State Bridge before you reach Johns Creek.
