[nfbmi-talk] More Megabus Service in Michigan

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hey j.J.,

Actually there is an Amtrak bus from East Lansing to Dearborn.  I don't know
if you can buy a ticket for thatride.  Each time we go to D.C. we go from
East Lansing to Ann Arbor, to Dearborn, to Detroit and then to Toledo to
catch the train.  Again, I'm not sure if Amtrak will sell a ticket from East
lansing to Dearborn.

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Nope, just in Detroit.
There's nothing that's really close. Michigan Flyer to Detroit Airport puts
you 15 miles away. There is Detroit bus service, but it's cumbersome at
best.
And of course Amtrak doesn't help you out since there's no route from East
Lansing to Dearborn.
If I think of a better solution, I'll write back.

>> In case you missed it, Megabus is adding a new route in Michigan which go

>> from Detroit to East Lansing to Grand Rapids to Chicago.
>> It starts July 12 running three trips daily.
>> This adds some new transportation options, including an overnight trip to

>> Chicago arriving in the morning. I see this especially good for Lansing 
>> and Grand Rapids people as the Amtrak trains in both of these cities only

>> run once daily. Tickets start at $1 and go up as more seats are sold. 
>> Busses have power outlets and wi-fi.
>> The East Lansing stop is at the Amtrak station, Grand Rapids is also near

>> the Amtrak station, and Detroit is at the Rosa Parks Transit Center where

>> you can connect to other busses.
>> Chicago's stop is also near Amtrak Union Station.
>>
>> I've ridden Megabus a few times from Chicago and would be happy to answer

>> any questions about the service.
>>
>> Nice again to see more transit options here.
