Private Transit Doable

Atlanta to Athens for $2.50 (the same fare as MARTA) and they make a profit! “… Megabus is capitalizing on the “safe, convenient, low-cost” combination that appeals to riders sick of the gas price rollercoaster. Some trips via bus can easily cost you less than it would to drive yourself.” “I took the jaunt to Athens via Megabus last week to test it out.  My round-trip price: $2.50 with the service fee.” “The buses provide free Wi-Fi Internet and outlets in which to plug your laptop, reader or tablet.” “Each trip will take a bit longer than it would if you drove yourself, but not by much.” Source: AJC, “Going by Megabus  is cheap and easy,” May 8, 2012 From Lauren Davidson (Atlanta Bargain Hunter) at the AJC: Steve Brown Fayette County Board of Commissioners, Post 4 http://www.traffictruth.net/  Transportation Leadership Committee (TLC)
