Your best bet is actually to use Transit App. SMART has stopped servicing the app due to some technical issues and the real-time feed has been upgraded and improved, and sent to Google Maps, Apple...

FAST is intended to offer a direct connection with 7 day service to the airport that wasn't there before. It's a decent option for someone traveling without a lot of luggage who lives along the FAST...

The regional 31 day Dart pass will be a "tap" card rather than mag-stripe. This is the first step to having reload-able, account-based passes in the future, which is on the radar of SMART and DDOT...

The people who are most vocal in the current process are those who contend that they bought their home in GP based on its proximity to the neighborhood elementary school. Especially in the minds of...

SyGolden - right you are. I was referring more to the changes from 2000-present where many districts were closing and/or restructuring many schools. Barnes is likely to be re-closed [[adult ed and...

GP isn't perfect. It's schools are a major draw for families with kids. I grew up in GP, and have lived in Lansing area and western Wayne County - recently moved back for... the schools. It's...

I grew up going to the Speedway [[now Starbucks) for candy. In the spirit of acknowledging the link between GPs and Detroit I'd like to point out that this is the THIRD Starbucks on Mack. There is...

Folks, the RTA millage is above and beyond underlying service and funding. This includes SMART's property tax in opt-ins, AAATA's property tax in a handful of Washtenaw communities, and the City of...

There is a flaw with this concept - a critical one that must be understood to avoid disaster. The RTA's millage will NOT be a replacement tax. This should be obvious but the discussion has been...

mikeg, the problem for me is that these are distinct matters that need to be distinguished. Yes, M1 Rail is a RAIL system... but it is not rapid. So why all the clamoring that we "need to run M1 up...

Hey hey,

I'm looking for good quality pictures of the Uniroyal Tire in its original roadside dress... circa 1970's. I have found pretty good pics at the fair, and pretty good pics of the newer...

Lowell, I think your post is a bit misleading. The land use concept you show is the META EXPO plan, which is NOT anywhere near the plan Magic Plus is proposing. I think many of us can agree that...

That is the best sentence I have read this year!

You are welcome for my post. I wish you would have read it. My reaction to your response: Where do you come up with this sh*t?! Now you're saying that if a transit agency is facing funding...

You got me. I visited your website. I appreciate vigor of your angle on this problem. However, your whole case is built around [[multiple references) the idea that the Federal anti-discrimination...

I find it incredibly difficult to believe that you rely on SMART to get to/from work, yet are spending dozens of posts on this site trying to get people to vote no. The stand does NOT need to be...

You know exactly what I meant. I didn't give any opinion. Facts only. FACT: a NO vote in any county on this ballot means that county will not have SMART service any more. Period. ...

Well, I gave them a call. Not sure why I thought you couldn't start in USA, but I was wrong. $4.50 each way, you can get on wherever you'd like. Guess I'll have to re-start my lunch plans when the...

401, I work downtown, ride SMART to work, and I was excited to try out the tunnel bus for lunch at Tunnel BBQ and maybe a jaunt over to the casino. Little known fact: the Tunnel Bus is only for...

TGG, your first claim is blatantly false. The property tax millage in each of the three counties is very short term... 4 years each time [[Ann Arbor, on the other hand, has a perpetual millage and...

What happened to the proposal for a multi-use hotel/apartment/parking deck from what seemed like a few weeks ago?! What a terrible waste of arguably the biggest, most prominent vacant lot in...

Best. Post. Of. 2014.

These are not artists - they are taggers. It's hideous. The group/gang/person must go out every night... the new overhead signs on M-10, I-75, and I-96 around Downtown/Ambassador Gateway/Midtown...

They have a LOT of buses to fix...

Their ridership is supposedly somewhere in the vicinity of 100,000 daily. Even giving the benefit of the doubt that those are unique riders [[which they aren't, they're trips each way counted once,...
