Hamilton E. Holmes is an elevated metro station in the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system, and the western terminus for the Blue Line. This is one of the busiest stations in the MARTA system, handling an average of 22,000 boardings per weekday. When the station opened in 1979 it was originally named Hightower station after Hightower Road, but both the road and the station were later renamed to honor civil-rights hero Hamilton E. Holmes. The station serves areas near the junction of Interstate 20 and Georgia 280 east of Adamsville. Because this is mainly a park-and-ride station, 1,426 spaces are located on site. This station provides connecting bus service to Greenbriar Mall, SixFlags Over Georgia, Barge Road Park N' Ride, Martin Luther King Jr. and Sweet Auburn Historic Districts and The Fulton Industrial Business District .
