ATLANTA - Clayton, Douglas, Coweta and Henry counties are the first to join a program to provide express bus service from their regions to downtown Atlanta. <br>

The Board of Commissioners for the counties voted for the program Wednesday. The county commissions in Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Paulding, and Rockdale counties will vote next week. <br>
