Catching a Ride: Taking the Bus From Athens to Atlanta and Back

If you need to get from Atlanta to Athens or vice versa, Southeastern Stages can get you there. They're bookable directly or by way of Greyhound. If you know of more buses between Athens and Atlanta (such as from the Atlanta airport to the Athens bus station, please feel free to add them here.

For those skating Athens to Atlanta, there are buses available on a2a.net and these are your best bet and a good value as I recall. However, if those don't work for you, perhaps these will.

There are buses from Athens to Atlanta (Southeastern Stages is one company) and it looks like Southeastern Stages as of this writing goes at these times...

• ATHENS 10:40a-12:15p ATLANTA
• ATHENS 3:15p-5:00p ATLANTA

The other way at this writing they travel these times...

• ATLANTA 11:15a-12:50p ATHENS
• ATLANTA 6:45p-8:45p ATHENS

Here's a sample trip options display from the Greyhound site...

Select Departure Schedule for Friday, October 9, 2009

Select Return Schedule for Sunday, October 11, 2009
Select     Departs     Arrives     Duration     Transfers     Carrier     Schedule

      d=day h=hour m=minute     SES: SOUTHEASTERN STAGES, INC.

Just for a sample, I chose the first option of both above and got...

 Select Fare Type

    Refundable Fare

    Adult
    $46.00  
    $46.00  

I think the one-way fare was $21.00 from Athens to Atlanta on Friday, so the return must be $25, and that might be a difference due to the weekend or bookings.
