Your Transit Testimonials

“I ride the bus frequently with many business people, even some attorneys that I know. It's a great alternative transportation option. Also, I find that riding the bus in to the station from the Park & Ride in the morning is relaxing and non‐stressful. I'd recommend it to anybody.”
--Sherry M., Miller Canfield

“I take the ExpressRide bus and ride my bike about 3 miles from downtown Ann Arbor to my workplace on Plymouth Road during months when the weather permits. I love being able to relax on the bus and get some exercise in on my bike.”

--Denise K., U.S. EPA
“The availability of public transit was a big reason our company chose to stay in downtown Ann Arbor. We love the energy of our Kerrytown neighborhood location, and the bus stop right behind our office is a big plus! Our employees who live in Ann Arbor use the bus daily, but the bus schedule is not convenient enough for those of us who live in outlying areas like Dexter, Saline, and Chelsea."
--Marisa S., The Whole Brain Group, LLC
“Public transit is an essential tool that prevents brain drain from happening in the State of Michigan. Young people are looking for alternative means of transportation other than car ownership. If we are going to plug this leak, we need to invest in public transit to meet the needs of this generation and keep the best and brightest from leaving our region."
--Ingrid A., Think Local First
"I’ve wanted to hire people but they can’t get here at the times we need them due to the bus schedule."
--Carole Woods, Zingerman’s
"Without a car, I can go shopping at Water Tower Place in Chicago easier than I can get to Twelve Oaks Mall."
--Official, Scio Township
"I have an employee that worked 7 years and I wanted to promote them to a supervisory position.  Because the new position required more flexible working hours, the employee could not take the promotion because the bus schedules did not give them the choices they needed."
--Board member, United Way
