Getting There & Away
Atlanta's huge Hartsfield International Airport (ATL) is
a major regional hub and international gateway. There are taxis,
shuttle buses and vans, rental cars and the MARTA rail system
available. There are five Greyhound buses per day to Savannah
and eight daily to Chattanooga, Tennessee. For those traveling
further afield there are several buses a day to New Orleans,
Miami, Washington DC, and New York.
Amtrak's Crescent passes through Atlanta daily between New York
and New Orleans.
Getting Around
The Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is accessible
via MARTA, buses and shuttles, all of which run regularly to
and from downtown. Taxis are relatively easy to secure and there
are several major car rental agencies at the airport.
MARTA is an inexpensive and reliable way to get around town.
It's also well integrated with the bus system, which serves
many of the areas MARTA doesn't. Transfers between the two systems
are free.
Taxis are not easily available unless ordered by phone. Unless
you're going as far as Savannah, driving isn't recommended as
the freeways and city streets can be confusing and are clogged
during rush hours. |
