Vine City is an at-grade train station on the Blue Line and part-time terminus station of the Green Line of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. It is one of only two stations served by the Green and Blue lines at all times. The area it serves, also called Vine City, was mostly industrial in the early 20th century, being just south of Atlanta's largest power plant, the Davis Street Plant. As of 2015, some of the areas west of Northside Drive are largely abandoned and primed for redevelopment.

Vine City provides overflow service to the Georgia Dome, as well as access to the Atlanta University Center, Morris Brown College, Morehouse College, Spelman College, Herndon Stadium, and Clark Atlanta University. It also features 29 parking spaces in a small on-site lot. Because of its dense location, it is not directly served with bus service; however, bus service is provided along the streets surrounding the station and at Hamilton E. Holmes station or Five Points station.
