Shuttle Service May Add More Trips To Atlanta Airport

BIRMINGHAM, AL - When Groome Transportation came to Birmingham in April, the owners of the company likely knew they were coming to a market that needed their services, but they likely did not realize just how popular their service would be. Groome supplies shuttle service from its office in Crestwood to and from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport 14 times a day. And that may change soon.

The positive response to the service may prompt Groome to increase the number of trips to and from Atlanta, according to Gina Groome Gomes the Richmond, Virginia-based company's regional manager.

"I am glad people are so happy with the service and yes we do plan to additional trips and capacity, Gomes said.
