Michigan football gameday

Michigan takes the shortest road trip of the season up to a VERY DANGEROUS East Lansing to take on MSU today. Lloyd's not saying much about Henne or Hart playing and that could be very bad. If Hart can't play, or is limited in his running, MSU's chances grow by the minute. MSU has a top flight running game and their new coach Mark Dantonio has been telling his team since he got there it was all about playing the Wolverines. MSU has the personnel to beat Michigan but as we all know historically that doesn't happen but for once every 4 or 5 years. MSU is due.

It's a tossup, it is.

AATA helps to offer 'low cost' service to Metro Airport, Jackson and East Lansing

From AATA's press release:

AATA collaborates on new Metro Airport service

ANN ARBOR, MI – Low-cost connections to Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Jackson and East Lansing will soon be available to local residents and visitors through the collaboration of the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (AATA) and key local leaders with Michigan Flyer.

Michigan Flyer has announced that it will add an Ann Arbor stop to its Direct to Detroit Metro bus service beginning October 1, 2007. The bus will board passengers at the Four Points Sheraton, located at 3200 Boardwalk, with 11 daily round trips to and from Metro Airport and seven round trips to Jackson and East Lansing.

According to AATA Board Chair David Nacht, AATA has played a key role in making this service a reality.

“Michigan Flyer approached us to help them evaluate and determine possible boarding and overnight parking sites, and to connect with other important contacts in the community,” Nacht said.

“We are really excited about this opportunity for residents of our community and visitors to have a low-cost option to get to Detroit Metro Airport and the ability to travel from Ann Arbor to Jackson and Lansing.”

AATA has worked with Michigan Flyer in setting up an interim connection between AATA’s Route 36 – Wolverine Tower Shuttle and the Michigan Flyer service, and will continue to work toward establishing connections with additional AATA routes.

The direct to Detroit Metro service will be non-stop to and from the airport and will serve both the McNamara and Smith terminals.

The introductory rate from Ann Arbor to the airport will be $10 per person, and $15 per person to or from East Lansing, with a “Buy Two, Get One Free” promotion in effect through December.

Details on the service are available at www.MichiganFlyer.com or by calling 888.MI.FLYER.
