The giant blue bus that takes people from Detroit to Chicago for, sometimes, as little as one dollar has seen a giant leap in ridership since last year.
Excerpt:
The route has carried 76,500 passengers so far this year, a 70% increase in ridership since last year, says Byrony Chamberlain, director of operations for Megabus. She said holiday bookings are heavy.
"We have already booked additional buses from our sister companies to help us meet the demand over this period," she says. The company uses both double-decker and regular buses on the route.
Ticket price depends on demand, ranging from $1 to $30 each way. You need to make reservations in advance (www.megabus.com, 877-462-6342).
The bus picks up at Grand Circus Park in downtown Detroit, stops at Cass and Warren near Wayne State and the park and ride lot on State Street in Ann Arbor before heading to Chicago's Union Station.
