Airport to rebid shuttle contract, again | www.ajc.com

The Atlanta Airport will once again rebid a controversial airport shuttle contract, after the company selected got into an wreck that injured passengers and then lost its state permits to operate.

A private hotel shuttle bus operated by MTI Limo and Shuttle Services Inc. carrying 16 passengers slammed into the rear of a tractor-trailer that was making a U-turn on Loop Road just south of Virginia Avenue on May 24.

Hartsfield-Jackson officials had planned to award a key airport shuttle contract to MTI, but decided to table the decision pending investigation into the accident. Initial charges against the shuttle driver included driving with an improper license and operating an unsafe vehicle, while initial charges again the tractor-trailer driver included making an improper u-turn.

On Monday, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport general manager Louis Miller said the airport has decided to “go out and do a rebid.” He cited the Georgia Department of Public Safety’s move to pull MTI’s permits late last month.
