About Atlanta Airports
Atlanta’s new billion dollar airport has opened a new permanent public transit system that provides the same service as the city’s excellent transit system. The new Connector bus system is billed as “the nation’s first airport transit service” and offers transit connections to the neighboring cities of Duluth, Athens, Cartersville, Alpharetta, Carroll County, Chattahoochee Hills, Centennial, Doraville, Eulonia, Farmville, Grimesville, Roswell, Riverdale, Sandy Springs, Suwanee, Warner Robins, and West Virginia. The Connector routes are operated by Georgia Railway Express under an agreement with the City of Atlanta.
The Connector network is a 100-mile-long route system that connects Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs, plus the state of Georgia. The Connector route system offers daily bus service across Atlanta. Riders can choose from a designated shuttle or ride the bus. The Connector routes are featured in the government-sponsored website: www.atlantatransportway.com. When purchasing a MARTA trip on MARTA, a user gets free access to the Connector buses.
The Connector buses are separated from traffic using smart bus lanes that use wireless signal technology. The buses use cameras to monitor the traffic flow behind them. If the bus stops at a red light or a stop sign, the bus driver has the authority to override the traffic lights and stop the buses, and proceed. This feature works well during rush hour traffic in Atlanta.
The Connector buses transport passengers from the airport terminals to five rail stations and 14 bus and rail routes in the surrounding area. The airport’s Connector bus stops are located in three major terminals. These are Terminal North, Terminal South, and Concourse E. The Connector buses also connect to the MARTA rail line at all five of the rail stations. MARTA’s Blue Line takes passengers to the Airport; at Concourse E the Connector buses connect to the Green Line that goes to Dunwoody. MARTA offers a convenient commute and connections to a large variety of transportation systems.
The first 20 journeys on the Connector are free, and customers who purchase tickets in advance can take advantage of senior and high-fare discounts.
Atlanta’s airports have opened their own transit systems for the first time in the U.note: Local airport transportation was created in 1976 in Atlanta and 1974 in Nashville.
Currently there are two airports in the Atlanta region that offer transit. The Connector bus system provides free transportation to and from the city’s airport. Travelers can use the Connector bus service to connect to MARTA rail, bus lines, and road transportation. The Connector is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Atlanta Connector bus system is a six-mile line that connects Atlanta to the surrounding cities.
Downtown Atlanta has recently opened a new multimillion dollar transit station. The city of Atlanta manages the whole transportation infrastructure surrounding the Atlanta airport. The Atlanta airport also has a free downtown shuttle called “Way.Ez”.
Whether you are an airport visitor, local visitor, airport employee, or airport employee who benefits from the airport transit service, the Connector bus system is a great way to get around. The bus system operates all day and all night. The first 20 trips on the Connector buses are also free.
The Connector buses provide rides to the city, to suburbs, to the state, to other states, and to outlying cities in the states of Georgia, Tennessee, and West Virginia. All of the airport terminals are served by the Connector bus. It stops at many of the rail stations and also provides rides to the MARTA rail line at several of the rail stations. Except for Concourse E, the Connector buses stop at all of the airport terminals. The Connector bus system is a well-organized and professional public transportation system that runs efficiently and effectively.

Atlanta’s History of Aviation
Atlanta’s airport is located near downtown Atlanta. Many of the city’s top attractions are less than a 10-minute drive from the airport, and all of the airport terminals are near downtown. For example, you can get to the state capitol, the Georgia State University campus, the city’s top museums, the Atlanta History Center, and many other attractions in just 15 minutes or less.
The new Lindbergh Museum in Atlanta was built by the grandson of Charles Lindbergh. The museum was built to honor the famous aviation pioneer and provide a glimpse into the history of aviation in Atlanta.
The Lindbergh Museum is located next to the College of Education on Georgia State University’s campus. The museum is an official affiliate of the National Air and Space Museum and the Smithsonian Institution.
The Lindbergh Museum is very different from many of the typical museums in the United States. Some museums focus on the history of certain industries, while others focus on the history of particular groups or events. The Lindbergh Museum focuses on the history of aviation and the history of flight in Atlanta and the United States. It focuses on the concept of flight. The museum has five different galleries that illustrate the concept of flight, while the other galleries feature other aspects of the history of flight in the United States.
Lagos Airport
Lagos has become the hub of all flights to the USA. The United States was not always represented here by Middle Eastern airlines. Middle Eastern Airlines used to be their feeder airline to the Middle East.
It is high time this ceased. Every citizen of Lagos should want American Airlines to go to Lagos, no matter how fat and rich they are.
Allow the Lagos Central Airport to be used for regular flights to America.
After three years of staging for the Australian rugby team and then the Rugby Championships, Lagos does not have a single direct flight to America. What is the point of this insistence for the City of Lagos to be made a city of free trade?
Lagos does not need city status to be recognised as an international hub for business, especially when there is a gateway to get there.
If there is no city for business, then let the City of Lagos manage an airport, maybe with some kind of franchise arrangement with a foreign airline.
Commercial service is required at every airport in the world. Without commercial flights, it is impossible to expect any business entity to invest in the city of Lagos to build a better airport. An international hub must be served by the airport.
Go back to the 1950s when Lagos was declared a city. City fathers decided that the main road linking Lagos to the east and the south was to be a direct link to the city from the West. That road has not been made better since then.
The Lagos State Government must restore the Lagos-Ogun-Delta highway as quickly as possible so that it can serve both the north and south. Furthermore, due to traffic congestion in Lagos, the highway is unable to handle commercial flights.
In the 1950s, the Lagos Airport was served by First Nigerian Airways. It is what we called the Lagos-Kano-Ibadan route. But then, there was a specific port. Today, Lagos has two ports. Because Lagos has a deep water port, it has a significant edge over Singapore and Dubai.
For that reason, Singapore and Dubai are being made hubs because they have deep-water ports. But Dubai and Singapore are not making anything of it.
