We were looking lat summer – with little success – for mass transportation between Chicago and Traverse City, Michigan. And finally decided the best bet was to rent a car.
But there is another option a reader offered: an Indian Trails bus (indiantrails.com). It is a fairly long trip (9 hours) compared to driving a car (5 hours), but the advance purchase cost is, we’re told, $50.
The other options: take the train from Chicago to Grand Rapids (which takes about 4.5 hours) and then somehow get to Traverse City. Word has it there’s a bus connection but it takes 12 hours. (that’s crazy.)
