Reserve a Ride

Benzie Bus offers curb to curb reserved ride service with advance reservations. Reservation requests should be made by 4 p.m. the day prior to travel. ADA cardholders and seniors 60 and older will be given first priority for ride service. Reserved rides to Traverse City are served by the TC X (Express).

Making Reservations

To reserve a ride, phone Benzie Bus Dispatch at (231) 325-3000 ext#1 the day before, or 2 hours minimum in advance for priority rides. Let them know when you would like to reach your destination and approximately how long you need to be there.

We require no less than one hour in advance for cancelling a ride. If a ride is cancelled less than one hour in advance, double rider fare may be charged and this affects the available service other riders.

Please be prepared to board the bus ten minutes prior to your scheduled pick up time. The bus will wait 3 minutes maximum upon the arrival to your location.
