Why does Benzie County need two bus systems?
The Council on Aging no longer operates its fleet of blue buses most people in the county are familiar seeing. Until recently, Benzie County had the Regional Ride (Northern Michigan's most popular multi-county route). It carried 6,000 more people per year and reached Traverse City and had a state bus grant, which ran out after 3 years. Now Benzie has joined Grand Traverse, Leelanau, and Manistee counties with having a countywide public bus service.
