13. Can I purchase and activate multiple tickets on my smart device if I travel with family and friends?

Each riding passenger must have their own phone or ID, as multiple riders cannot use a single ID to travel. However, Breeze Mobile 2.0 allows users to manage up to five separate IDs under one account. This feature is designed for families, enabling parents or guardians to oversee fare products for their dependents.

IDs linked to your account do not perform financial transactions; they act as unique identifiers that connect to your mobile account. This setup allows multiple individuals to travel while managed under a single account. Follow these steps to add a Breeze card to your account:

Select ‘Menu’ from the navigation bar in the Breeze Mobile 2.0 app.
Choose ‘IDs’ and then tap ‘Add ID’ at the bottom of the page.
In the ID Type field, select ‘Breeze’ from the drop-down menu.
Enter the serial number from the back of the Breeze card into the ID Number field and click ‘Save.’

The Breeze card is now linked to the mobile account. Products can either be manually activated in the app and assigned to the Breeze card or used by tapping the card directly on Bus or Rail services.

14. When should I buy my ticket?

You may pre-purchase tickets for future use and activate each ticket as needed. You may also purchase a ticket at the time of travel, or if you have stored value, scan your QR code on your home screen to be automatically issued a single trip pay-as-you-go ticket.

If you do not have any tickets or value, it may take up to 30 seconds for your new product to be available for use.

15. When should I activate my tickets?

If scanning a validator upon boarding MARTA, an eligible prepaid ticket in your wallet will automatically be activated. However, you can manually activate your tickets before boarding the train, bus, or streetcar. If you are boarding a vehicle without being able to scan, you must manually activate your ticket. Bus operators will require an activated ticket. Please note that for single-trip tickets, once the ticket is activated, it will expire in 3 hours. For day passes, once the ticket is activated, it will expire at 2:00 A.M the following day.

16. Can I get a refund if I lose my device or purchase the wrong ticket?

The Breeze Mobile 2.0 Application does not issue refunds. If you believe you are entitled to one, please MARTA's Customer Service team at 404.848.5000.

Day Passes, once activated, will expire at 2:00 A.M the following day. For a 7-day pass, once the ticket is activated, it will expire at 2:00 A.M. on the 8th day.

26. What happens if I uninstall and reinstall the Breeze Mobile 2.0 Application?

Uninstalling and reinstalling the Breeze Mobile 2.0 application will create an additional ID in their account for that same device.

If a customer has a product locked to their older ID, they must contact customer service to move the product to the new ID, and the old phone ID must be deleted from the account.
