Garnett station is part of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail network in Atlanta, Georgia, accommodating both the Red and Gold routes. The station is designed with a central island platform flanked by two tracks. At its northern extremity, the platform connects to a tunnel portal that leads toward Five Points station and other subterranean stops in downtown Atlanta. Since its inauguration on December 4, 1981, Garnett has operated across three distinct levels: the uppermost level at street grade featuring an entrance and a mezzanine that covers roughly 75% of the platform's length, along with a lower-level access point situated next to the Greyhound Bus Terminal.
Serving primarily the South Downtown and Castleberry Hill neighborhoods, Garnett functions as a vital entry point for visitors arriving through Greyhound services. The station offers convenient access to significant civic and educational facilities such as the Municipal Court of Atlanta, Atlanta City Hall, Atlanta Public Schools headquarters, The Grady Detention Center, and the central Greyhound Bus Terminal.
