This is the best service EVER! It really made our trip to the state fair incredible! Instead of being all stressed trying to find a parking spot, we simply parked near the AT campus, wandered on down to the beautiful bus terminal and for FOUR DOLLARS, our family of five had a quiet, relaxing and pleasant ride (it took less than 40 minutes) to the fair. My in-laws caught the bus an hour later (they came up from GSO) and it made it simple to meet them; the bus drops you off RIGHT IN FRONT OF GATE 10. We all caught the bus home together and had dinner at Mellow Mushroom for my daughter’s bday; it was soooo nice not having to worry about them getting lost in traffic. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THE BUS. Besides, as the bus pulled out of the fairgrounds, we zipped right past all kinds of cars sitting in traffic. Bonus points: DATA buses are sooo clean and the drivers are so helpful and friendly!
