ATLANTA - MARTA is experiencing a worker shortage and they're ready to make some new hires.

The transit authority originally had planned to hold a job fair this Saturday, but due to the omicron spread, officials were forced to cancel.

Despite the cancellation, MARTA is still looking to hire hundreds.

Officials said they're down 200 bus drivers compared to the 10 to 20 open positions pre-pandemic.
