Hilton Atlanta shuttle/taxi

[Carolyn Quintero]

It's nice to have this train info.  The fellow at the Hilton knew only
taxis, had to go ask someone about shuttles at my insistence and I got a
vague answer, and he never mentioned trains!

Thanks!  It's great to have local logistics info.   Like an idiot I'm
coming in at the last minute -- Thursday morning instead of Wednesday
afternoon -- for reasons I can't now recall, it seemed sensible at the time
when I was making reservations.  So I 'll miss the dinner.  Oh well!   You
guys enjoy it.  See you all Thursday.

I'm from Atlanta and I can confirm that the MARTA train has a station
right in the airport. If I recall correctly, there is a stop one block
from the Hilton. There are maps posted outside and inside the train,
and a person in the toll booth you can ask. I don't know what the fare
is now, but when I left (in 1997) it was $1.25.  It is incredibly
convenient, fast and comfortable.  Getting on at the airport, you'll
be the first on and assured of a seat, and there are areas in each car
to put your luggage, so you don't have it knocking around your feet.
You can take a seat next to or across from it if you're worried about
someone grabbing it and hopping off with it.  When I lived in Atlanta
MARTA was the only way I ever went to the airport - pretty much
hassle-free.
