When I was a kid, I used to take the train from Detroit to Ann Arbor all the time. My parents would drop me at the station in Detroit, and my friend's mom would pick me up in A2 and I'd spend the weekend at their house. It wasn't exactly a long journey, but it saved everyone a bunch of windshield time, and it was a cool independent thing for a nine-year-old to be able to do solo.
I had no idea that train didn't run anymore. I wonder what happened to it!
Seconding the natural beauty, though. I finally had the sense to spend a good chunk of last summer up north, too.
- rmason 6y agoI know that U of M runs a bus several days per week into downtown Detroit. Pretty certain you have to either be a student or work for the university to take it though. According to Wikipedia the Ann Arbor to Detroit train was discontinued in 1984.
