BATA SERVICE ALERT :: On Monday, May 19 – May 21, City Loop Routes 1, 2 and the West Route will be temporarily parking on the east side of Hall Street next to the eastbound Woodland Creek Bayline Lot X stop due to improvements at BATA’s Hall Street Transfer Station. Signs will be posted directing riders to the correct staging locations. The Westbound Meijer Bayline and Village Loops will continue to park in their normal spots at the Transfer Station. We apologize for the inconvenience and will return the routes to their normal spots as soon as possible. Also on Monday, May 19 the eastbound Bayline NMC-Aeropark route will end its seasonal loop through Aero-Park Drive and all eastbound Baylines will follow the full Woodland Creek route path for the summer. For more information call 231-941-2324 or visit bata.net.
