Fayette County Commission votes down bus service

By
FAYETTEVILLE - A suburban county south of Atlanta has voted against joining a bus service proposed by the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority. <br> <br> The Fayette County Commission took the unanimous vote last night. <br> <br> Commissioners said residents don&#39;t like mass transit and would not ride buses. <br> <br> Commissioners also complained that GRTA (Greta) is unfairly withholding $13 million in road improvement money unless the county agreed to join the program and pay $1.3 million in initial operating costs. <br> <br> Eleven other metro Atlanta counties have agreed in concept to the bus service. It is designed to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. <br> <br> Cherokee County also has stayed out of the plan.
