MARTA suggests itself as Atlanta’s ride of choice to a raft of downtown events this weekend to avoid traffic congestion. But it suggests buying a round-trip ticket at the outset, because returning home the ticket lines downtown could be long.

According to MARTA, music and sports fans this weekend can get to the events listed below by taking the east-west MARTA line to the Georgia Dome/GWCC/Philips arena/CNN Center station. For events at the Georgia Dome, riders could also use the Vine City station.

The weekend events:

Philips Arena

* Friday: Atlanta Hawks vs. Toronto Raptors

* Saturday: How Sweet the Sound gospel choir competition

* Sunday and Monday: Tina Turner Concerts

Georgia Dome

* Sunday: Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints
