Union City to Downtown Atlanta
Xpress operates six coaches in the morning and six returning in the afternoon from the Union City/Fairburn area of South Fulton County. Three of the coaches provide a “reverse commute” from downtown Atlanta to the park & ride lot in the morning and returning in the evening. The park & ride lot is located at exit 66 of Interstate 85 South. The lot is a Georgia Department of Transportation Rideshare lot located at Flat Shoals Rd. Union City, GA 30349. Enter the lot from Feldwood Rd.

All Xpress coaches are wheelchair accessible. Click here for more information.

How to Read the Timetable

The timetable shows the timed stops on the Xpress route. Not all stops have times. To estimate when the coach will arrive at a non-timed stop, check the last timed stop just before the stop you want and the first timed stop after the stop that you want. Your stop time will fall in between those two times.
