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!
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 ticketsHERE.
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.
Don’t feel left out Ypsilanti, pending enough Ypsi registrations, getmedowntown.com is adding an Ypsilanti stop! The pickup location is TBD. Keep a lookout for additional details. Be sure to indicate in your registration if you will catch the bus in Ypsilanti or in Ann Arbor!
