For the 400-corridor, look at Roswell: it's a 70-minute trip to ATL, if one drives to the North Springs Station and rides MARTA from there. Once the train arrives at ATL, it's another 10-minutes to ride the elevator down to the platform and walk to the check-in counter.....so its an 80 minute trip, Roswell to ATL check-in line...... meanwhile, driving Roswell to CHA is a 90-minute trip.

People on the 85-corridor can consider GSP -- it's 90-minutes from Braselton, while Braselton to ATL is a 70-minutes from there, going via 285.
