Village Connector is quick and cheap

WebBATAboarders.jpgSchedule bus service provided by BATA has finally reached the Empire-Glen Arbor-Maple City-Cedar area. With four buses each day, and pickups in each of those villages and also at The Homestead and Glen Lake School, it is easy to move around this part of the county, and to reach Traverse City.

For a mere $2, passengers receive a quick trip to the new transfer station on Hall Street (by Midas and the Candle Factory). There they may easily stroll to Front Street, or change buses and head for other Grand Traverse County destinations.

Glen Arbor resident Michael Buhler, often spotted in his convertible MGB "Sumrcar," recently rode the route to TC. "It was a great trip, and took just 45 minutes from the Town Hall to Hall Street. It was fleet, frugal, and almost fashionable."

Schedule information is available at www.bata.net or by calling 941-2324.
