Grand Rapids doesn't have weekend service, or no service on Sundays, and
holidays. Is that correct?

Both have heavy college influences but have a lot more to offer than just
being a college town. It just so happens that many college students don't
have cars thus a decent transit system. There's a lot going on in downtown
with lots of young people, but the major university is in Allendale which is
a bit outside the city.
Grand Rapids is also another option with a growing system that runs until
midnight on weekdays with dedicated bus rapid transit lanes coming soon.

Best regards,
J.J.
