It’s time to start getting your plans together for the 2015 Winter Break. Central Student Government (CSG) partners with Ann Arbor Transit Authority (AATA) to provide transit between the U-M campus to and from Detroit Metro Airport. It costs $7 for transportation to the airport ($11 without a reservation). To return to campus it costs an additional $11. The entire fare will be charged to your U-M Student Account. Riders must be current Michigan students, employees, and staff, so its important to have your MCard when riding the bus. AirBus began taking reservations for winter break on December 3, 2014 through its website: www.csg.umich.edu/airbus.
The schedule is up and available to view on the AirBus website. Beginning on Saturday, December 13, the first trip Eastbound to Metro Airport leaves at 5:36 AM. AirBus strives to be on time, so it DOES NOT run on Michigan Time. The trip to Detroit Metro Airport includes stops at Bursley (behind the North Circle Drive near the loading dock), the Hill (on southbound Observatory in front of Alice Lloyd), and State Street (At theintersection of State St. and Madison, across from the Law Quad).
At the airport the airbus will be at North Terminal at the Ground Transportation Center and the McNamara Terminal at the Ground Transportation Center (near the rental car shuttles) to return students back to campus on Monday, January 5th and Tuesday, January 6th. AirBus cannot post signs or display information at the airport so look ahead of time to know where you should be. AirBus uses premium over-the-road charter coaches and will be in their designated locations. Contact [email protected] a week in advance to ensure wheelchair accessibility. AirBus doesn’t offer refunds but it’s one of the cheapest rides to the airport so be sure of your travel plans before making a reservation.
