BATA's Route 14 provides direct transportation between Cherry Capital Airport, East Bay and West Bay hotels, Grand Traverse Resort, Acme and downtown Traverse City.

BATA's Village Loop routes connect villages in Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties to downtown Traverse City, including Suttons Bay, Interlochen, Kingsley and Acme.

We love being a partner in this program. Make sure to nominate the next great organization you want to see on the side of a BATA bus!

The 2026 Bike-n-Ride season with the big Bike-n-Ride bus ends on Saturday, Oct. 17. To celebrate, BATA will offer free rides all day on Village Loop Route 10 - Suttons Bay. Get out there and enjoy the trails, and don't forget that all of BATA's buses have bike racks so you ride and bus all year long. Full Bike-n-Ride details here: http://www.bata.net/bikenride

The Bayline is free throughout the year! It runs along East and West Grand Traverse Bay, providing easy access to hotels, Northwestern Michigan College, grocery stores, and downtown.

We had a great time yesterday at the Suttons Bay Bingham District Library reading books about riding the bus and teaching future riders about public transit.

BATA connects residents and visitors in Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties to essential services, local businesses, and outlying communities.
