This is five year-old information, so please verify.

I live in Marietta just off the square.  I used to drive the two miles
from home to park-and-ride lot of the CCT transfer station near the
SPSU campus.  There I'd pick up the 101 CCT/GRTA express service
(truly express, no stops, comfortable coaches full of people who
smelled about like me) to Civic Center station.  When I worked in
midtown, I could walk the remaining half-mile on nice days or transfer
(free) to MARTA train, ride to the next stop, and step off the
escalator into the building where I worked.  Very nice.

When I later worked in Buckhead, I continued to take the 101 express
to Civic Center, adding in a North Springs train to Buckhead station
and either walking the remaining 3/4 mile or taking the Buc shuttle.
This got to be a bit much on days when I was in a rush, but still beat
driving in most of the time.

There are equivalent GRTA/CCT express services that operate from the
Children's Hospital lot at Town Center and I think one that operates
from somewhere in Acworth.  I still see the coaches running to this
day, but there may have been capacity cuts; see
http://dot.cobbcountyga.gov/cct/route-schedules.htm.  I think the
Clean Air Campaign still occasionally runs programs in which one can
get paid to use public transit.
