A2: Train

Writing on Deadline Detroit, Jeff Wattrick describes his car-less excursion from Royal Oak to Ann Arbor on Saturday for the Michigan-Michigan State football game. He took Amtrak to town, then used the bus to get around. Wattrick writes: ”Ann Arbor has a fantastic transit center on Fourth and Liberty. Even though I’m unfamiliar with Washtenaw County’s ‘The Ride’ bus system, it was easy to find the right bus. One hitch, though, bus service out in this pastoral three square miles surrounded by reality shuts down early on the weekends. I was basically stranded in a strip mall-ish part of town without a (ahem) Ride. So I hoofed it back downtown – the wait for a cab was at least an hour – and killed some time at a coffee shop before procuring dinner and catching the 11:20 train home. The late train was the only train available after the game.” [Source]
