Enjoy a bus ride to the Fair

The CDTA and the Altamont Fair have agreed to provide transportation services to support the 2009 Altamont Fair Schedule.

CDTA will operate shuttle service between Crossgates Mall and the fairgrounds for the 2009 schedule (August 11-16, 2009) The Crossgates Mall location will provide customers with convenient access to several of CDTA's most popular and frequent routes and services. The shuttle service will operate on a one-hour frequency.

CDTA will charge a fare and require that it be paid using our Day Card ($4). Once a person has the day card, they can use it on any CDTA bus for that day--this will take care of the trip to the fairgrounds and accommodate any transfer a customer may need (taking more than one bus to reach the fair).
