Cobb unveils microtransit expansion to parts of Mableton, Kennesaw and Acworth
Cobb County officials unveiled the county’s microtransit service expansion Thursday morning, bringing the on-demand service to new areas of the county. The microtransit service, known as CobbLinc Go, is operated by Via Transportation and uses minivans that can carry up to five passengers. Riders request the service through an app, similar to services like Uber and Lyft. It’s available weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CobbLinc Go officially launched in late 2024 with service starting in south Cobb as part of a two-year pilot program with an option for a third year. The service averaged nearly 2,400 trips per month during its first 19 months and reached 3,628 trips in April 2026, compared with about 640 monthly trips under the former FLEX service, per the county. Rides on CobbLinc Go are priced at $2.50 per trip, the same as a bus fare. The expansion, which the Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved in August, adds service areas in northwest Mableton and creates pilot zones in parts of Acworth and Kennesaw. Cobb Department of Transportation staff gathered alongside representatives from the Town Center Community Improvement District, Commissioner Erick Allen and Cobb Board of Commissioners Chair Lisa Cupid for a ribbon

Marietta street safety concerns go beyond driver blame
[The Cobb Courier often highlights the work of student journalists from Kennesaw State University. This is Sarah Pittman’s first article for the Courier]. In recent year, Marietta, and its surrounding area, has been the site of a plethora of pedestrian-involved traffic accidents, notably: a 2025 case resulting in the amputation of a Kennesaw student’s leg as well as the loss of a young boy’s life this past September. This lack of safety for pedestrians and bikers alike may not only create wariness within those trying to travel but may affect the economic standing of small businesses.
