CCT began operations in July of 1989, and has had relatively strong ridership (3,793,253 total passengers in 2005) since then. The hub is along South Marietta Parkway in Marietta, just west of Southern Polytechnic State University. Routes connect to the most populated areas of the county, including Mableton and Kennesaw. Express routes also operate down to Atlanta, connecting with MARTA at the Arts Center station. Transfers are free between MARTA and CCT, although CCT charges a slightly lower fare ($1.25 versus $1.75). CCT's annual operating budget is about $12.9 million dollars (2004), from fares and the general county budget, as well as Federal grants.
Newer buses are equipped with GPS, making automatic announcements inside the bus of upcoming stops and major roads, and stop requests from passengers. This is done by pre-recorded voice announcements for the vision-impaired and LED message signs for the hearing-impaired. External announcements are also made by voice, in addition to the normal electronic signs.
