This express bus would be 10x better (pun intended), if the HOV lane on I-75 ITP was a HOT managed lane (which is planned, I think), if there was a 15th St bridge in Midtown with HOT ramps (which is planned, I think), and if they moved the CTC to right off the Akers Mill exit at the Galleria, with park&ride.

And I'm still not sure why it needs to stop at 2 adjacent MARTA stations. If there's ever a 15th St ramp, it should just let out at Arts Center bus loop and then head straight back to Cobb.

Since it's being promoted as rapid bus line that will connect KSU, KSU-Marietta, and Life University; it is most likely stopping at Midtown for access to Tech.

That would make sense. I was wondering why it didnt just stop at arts center and then go to five points.

I know Cumberland Mall will not appreciate this, but I might try parking at the mall, as a park & ride for the 10x.

Anyone ever done that? I wonder if security will say anything. I mean, CCT needs to provide commuter parking.

I can see the value of this route, but it is disappointing that it really isn't using the new HOT lanes too much. I hope they add an additional route that provides direct service. The long stretch on 41 makes it not so express in my mind. Or is there already a GRTA route for that?

Given the stop locations, I'm curious if they'd actually save any time by going all the way over to the interstate.

You risk getting towed. They have signs in the parking lot, closest to the CTC warning of this.
