ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (TheRide) Board of Directors approved Thursday a plan to create a public transit service between the city and Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus.
The new service will be called AirRide and is expected to begin in April. Twelve daily round trips will be provided between Ann Arbor to the airport. The bus service will be operated by Michigan Flyer which currently provides $15 one-way bus trips between the city and airport.

The AirRide service will be $10 for a one-way trip for a limited time. The regular one-way trip fare will be $12 for an adult with a reservation and $15 without a reservation. There will be discounts for seniors, disabled passengers and children.
The plan is to have three stops in Ann Arbor: One at 4th Avenue and William Street, another at the Kensington Court Hotel near Interstate 94 on the city's south side and a third at the Central Campus Transit Center.
TheRide has plans to make parking available at the bus stops for $2 per trip.
