[nfbmi-talk] CATA Expands Service In Delta Township

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Elizabeth and all,

Here's a press release with more info. From what I'm seeing, looks like 
Redi-Ride is for trips within Delta township. SpecTran is still 
available as well but has more restrictions. Redi-Ride can be scheduled 
for trips 4 hours in advance or further and has regular CATA fares. 
Also, the double fares that were being charged for the township are gone 
as of Monday. So regular fare is $1.25, SpecTran is $2.50.

J.J.

But yes, this new service could make it easier to get to the LCC West campus. Although, you still may need to take a route three CATA bus to get you into Delta Township first before you can use this service.
