Fare Policy Changes Proposed
July 5, 2010 - The funds from Metro Atlanta counties that have been used to support the Xpress regional commuter service will run out in the spring of 2011. Without increased revenues and reduced expenses, the Xpress service will have to terminate all service as early as April 2011.
In order to permit the Xpress service to continue operation until June 2011, when the fiscal year 2012 state budget can be considered, the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) management has proposed a group of expense reductions and revenue enhancements.

Welcome to Xpress !
Xpress is a public commuter transportation service, available Monday through Friday, designed to provide work-day commuters an alternative to driving their vehicles alone to work while improving air quality and enhancing the quality of life for all of metropolitan Atlanta. In partnership between the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) and 12 metro Atlanta counties, Xpress is the Atlanta region's premier commuter transportation service, with luxury coaches carrying riders throughout the region. With plenty of legroom, reclining seats, luggage racks, electrical outlets (some seats) and reading lamps — it's a first class way to ride.
