We have a very good day time local transportation system using mini busses in two programs. The PAATTS program allows us to hire a ride to a specific address
for a fare of $1.00 to $3.00 one way for designations of one to eleven miles. The SMART bus system is a share ride program that also makes circuit runs to specific shopping areas within eight miles of the area. The service begins at 7:30 A.M. and cuts off at 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. The metro bus system is very trying with late busses and bus lines difficult to walk to. If one needs emergencies service there is always the EMS.
The Cultural Center of Detroit is beyond reach for night time activities. The regular bus schedule is greatly reduced after 6:00 P.M. The cab service is $15.00 one way and not dependable. What we have then is a transportation report of some pluses but a lot of minuses.
