ATLANTA — A $230 million project that will change how one of MARTA’s busiest stations looks and operates began on Saturday.
The Five Points Station connects riders to all four rail lines.
In order to make room for construction equipment, bus riders will load and unload on Forsyth Street instead of Alabama Street.

The work also includes upgrades for people who walk around the station.
MARTA says there will be no changes to train service.
