CobbLinc plans to revise commuter routes including Busby Parkway and Marietta services

On May 8, 2025, Cobb County officials convened to discuss proposed changes to commuter and green circulator routes, focusing on enhancing public transportation services in the region. The meeting highlighted adjustments to existing routes, particularly the blue circulator, which serves the Truist Park area, and the CobbLinc commuter routes.

The blue circulator will undergo slight modifications to improve its service coverage at Truist Park, ensuring it serves the entire venue rather than just a portion. This change aims to enhance operational efficiency and improve on-time performance (OTP) for riders. Additionally, the CobbLinc 15 route, which operates along Circle 75 Parkway, and Route 50, serving Powers Ferry Road, will see similar adjustments to align with the green circulator's path.

A significant point of discussion was the potential extension of the Rapid 10 route to Hickory Grove Park and Ride. This extension could provide a vital connection for commuters and enhance access to Truist Park during Braves games. However, officials noted that extending the route would increase travel time, necessitating further studies to assess feasibility.

The meeting also addressed CobbLinc's commuter routes 100, 101, and 102, which currently connect various park-and-ride locations to MARTA stations. These routes operate on weekdays with limited stops, providing essential access to downtown and Midtown Atlanta. However, proposed changes include the potential removal of these routes, raising concerns about the impact on commuters who rely on these services.

As discussions continue, the community will be closely monitoring these proposed changes, which could significantly affect public transportation accessibility in Cobb County. The next steps involve further analysis of the proposed adjustments and continued engagement with the community to address their transportation needs.
