New Ann Arbor shuttle to assist Lamp Post Inn guests

Beginning in early April, 2012 there will be an official  shuttle, The Michigan Flyer,  between Ann Arbor and the Detroit airport (DTW).   The bus will pick up and drop off passengers in several different locations in Ann Arbor including the Blake Transportation Center and the Central Campus Transportation Center.   Both drop off sites are really very convenient for guests of the Lamp Post Inn. 

For those of you that are staying at the Lamp Post Inn, you may wish to take the Michigan Flyer shuttle service as an alternative to a rental car or shuttle service.    The Michigan Flyer is actually a very good option since in fact the two main stops in Ann Arbor are on the Ann Arbor Transit Bus Route #4 and the Lamp Post Inn is located on this same bus route.  

The best choice of stops is the Central Campus Transportation Center.    Bus number 4 passes one block from the Center and if you then pick up the Ann Arbor Transit Bus #4 at the corner of  Washtenaw and South University (one block away), the ride will be less than 6 minutes to the Lamp Post Inn.   You can also walk from that location, less than 1 1/4 miles.  

The Blake Center is also convenient.   It is the downtown drop off stop for the Michigan Flyer and you can simply pick up bus route #4 right there at the center and proceed along Huron and Washtenaw Avenue (detouring through the hospital area) and will be at the hotel in about 15 minutes.
