Ann Arbor-Detroit bus to offer late-night service for Michigan vs. Purdue football game
ANN ARBOR, MI — Leaving Ann Arbor after the Michigan vs. Purdue football game just got a lot easier.
The Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan announced it will extend its nightly D2A2 bus service hours for trips between Ann Arbor and Detroit on Saturday, Nov. 1.
To accommodate fans attending the 7 p.m. game at Michigan Stadium, D2A2 will run trips all day until its last ride departing Ann Arbor for Detroit at 11:15 p.m.
Bus service from downtown Detroit to Ann Arbor will start at 7:30 a.m.
The bus will drop passengers off in Ann Arbor at the Blake Transit Center, where they can either walk or take TheRide to reach the stadium.
“These extended hours demonstrate our dedication to meeting the community’s needs,” Ben Stupka, Regional Transit Authority executive director, said in a statement. “By temporarily expanding D2A2’s service hours for this game under the lights, we’re making it simpler for attendees to cheer on the Wolverines without the hassle of driving or having to leave early.”
D2A2 buses have complimentary Wi-Fi and charging ports for passengers.
One-way fares are $8 at the door or $6 with an advance booking at the D2A2 website.
Seniors, people with disabilities and those purchasing a book of 10 or more tickets are eligible for reduced rates.
The Regional Transit Authority also offered late-night D2A2 game service after the Detroit Lions playoff game against the Washington Commanders in January.
For more information on schedules, fares and additional services, customers can visit the D2A2 website or contact customer service at 517-333-0400.
