Get Me Downtown - Your Direct Route to Detroit Nightlife from Ann Arbor
 
How It Works
We organize a bus, from downtown Ann Arbor to and from Detroit, to coincide with something hip and happening in the city. Its up to you to participate in the festivities of the evening, or you are welcome to bum around on your own. Just make sure you are back for the bus’ predetermined departure location and time. Check out our next trip at right, we can’t wait to see you there!
Pricing
The cost is ~$16 per person (includes driver gratuity). We think this is a reasonable amount to pay for round trip transportation to Detroit from Ann Arbor.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Your registration fee to ride the bus does not cover event admission, nor special event tickets. Admission to Comerica Park varies, if you are planning on attending the game , you can order tickets HERE.

We think there may be ways to promote our excursions and mitigate that actual cost. If your business or organization would like to sponsor a getmedowntown.com trip, contact us using the form at the right!

Your spot on the bus will not be guaranteed until after payment has been received. The easiest method of payment is PayPal... simply use the button above. You can also call 734.929.9066 and either leave your credit card information in a voicemail or leave a good time for you to be reached.

Tigers Fireworks at Comerica Park, DetroitTake advantage of the GetMeDowntown bus to catch the Detroit Tigers in action at Comerica Park against the Los Angeles Angels!

Time and weather permitting, Saturday night fireworks at the ballpark are planned. If you plan on attending the game, you will need to obtain your own ticket to the game separately HERE.

Just not that into eating hotdogs and pizza and drinking expensive beers on a Saturday night? Prefer heavy cream and cocktails? Alternatively, harden your arteries in some of Detroit’s finest eateries. The June 6th bus will make runs and up and down Woodward. So go ahead, make reservations at Atlas Bistro, The Whitney, the Majestic, or Union Street. Suggested reservation time is 7:00pm.

And if you just want to get dinner without the “fancy”, try The Elwood and then a bar crawl to the Detroit Beer Co., or Small Plates and then The Park Bar or Cliff Bells... the possibilities are endless! Maps and suggestions will be provided. For a preview of the map, take a look at the image below (click image to download PDF version).
