ATLANTA -- Lyft has announced its transportation plan for Atlantans and out-of-towners alike as they navigate the city before and after Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, Feb. 3, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This plan includes a five-times boost for Delta Miles earned on Lyft rides, an offer for rides to and from MARTA stations, e-scooter rental and pick-up and drop-off locations throughout the city.

“This will be a great opportunity for residents of Atlanta and our guests to experience the convenience, comfort and affordability of MARTA. It’s great to see private companies like Lyft working to encourage public transportation,” said Andre Dickens, city councilmember and transportation chair. “This offer can reduce congestion, lower commuting costs and help Atlanta continue to grow not only during this busy time, but year-round.”

Lyft has several multimodal recommendations available:

  • Opt for rideshare and earn five times the Delta Miles on every ride. As an extension of Lyft’s partnership with Delta Air Lines, Atlanta’s hometown airline, riders will earn five miles per every dollar spent on rides in Atlanta the weekend of Feb. 1-Feb. 3. To learn more about this program, or to connect your SkyMiles and Lyft accounts, visit https://www.deltalyft.com.
  • Take half off rides to any MARTA station. Lyft is providing riders with a MARTA offer of 50 percent off, up to $10 on 10 rides, during the week of the game. To claim the offer, riders can add the promo code SUPERMARTA to their Lyft apps. (Does not include trips to or from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.)
  • In December, Lyft launched e-scooters that can travel up to 15 mph in Atlanta, and the brand is bringing more scooters into the city just in time for game. Users can rent a scooter straight from the Lyft app. Lyft scooters are $1 to unlock and $0.15 per minute after that.
  • Designated pick-up and drop-off points near many top Atlanta attractions. Lyft has long-term relationships with many of Atlanta’s most popular spots for visitors, including: Georgia Aquarium, Zoo Atlanta, the Woodruff Arts Center and the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild (that last partnership includes ride discounts for 40+ craft breweries in Georgia). These relationships include pick-up and drop-off points, as well as special offers on some trips.
