Atlanta,GA,USA -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, by SUSAN GAST -April 4, 2007: -- ... It was an instant reminder of the demon drivers and traffic headaches that had been, up to that point, gloriously missing from my day... That morning I had left my car at a park-and-ride lot on Hewatt Road and boarded an express bus for downtown Atlanta. In the afternoon, I walked to a pickup point downtown and rode another bus back to Snellville... The service was part of the new express bus routes that GRTA (Georgia Regional Transportation Authority) started Monday... I have to say - I loved it. The bus made good time.
