FAQ: Your Penny-Pinching Posse Asks the Important Questions
How to pay the fare? Cash is king (or queen) on the bus, but you can also use the Token Transit app for a more tech-savvy approach.
How to avoid the fare fumble? Have your exact change or pass ready to roll when you board. The bus driver ain't got time for a financial fumble!
How to catch the bus? Stand at the designated bus stop and give a friendly wave – you don't need to bust out your flashiest dance moves (although, if you must, who am I to judge?).
How to know which bus to take? Download a bus route app or consult a good old-fashioned paper map. Knowing where you're going (and how to get there) is key to avoiding an unplanned scenic tour (unless that's your thing, no judgment here).
How to have the best bus experience ever? Be polite, wear your headphones if you're feeling antisocial, and enjoy the ride! Detroit's full of hidden gems, and your bus adventure might just be the key to unlocking them.
