We're officially 14 years old today! Wawawoo!

Here's our very first bus on our very first day on the road. It's surreal to think this was 14 whole years ago considering I remember this like it was yesterday.

This bus, Bettis, still sits in our back lot waiting for her moment to shine again. Since this day we've provided millions of rides for Detroit school kids, tour groups, partygoers, public transit, weddings, and everything in between!

If you've ridden with us, drop a note and let us know what you did. It's so good to still be in the game putting Detroit on wheels.

Thank you!! 🥳

Spring break may be winding down, but our buses have been doing anything but taking a pause!

We are providing more rides to schools, non-profits, and after-school programs than ever before. These smiling faces have been recent recipients of our Ride-for-Ride program, which gets students to their non-profit activity every day after school!

If you have an after-school program and need transportation, reach out to [email protected].

We’re also booking fast for those spring field trips in April and May — reach out if you’re in need of a bus for your end-of-year event, let us know!

P.S.: It’s also not too early to start thinking about those summer school buss. We do have availability right now but we’ll be booking up fast!

IT'S BACK! 🍺

The Drunks of Antiquity Historic Bar Tour is easily our most popular event. When the holidays rolled around, we took a brief pause offering that experience to focus on the Merry & Bright Holiday Lights tour.

You were very patient with us as we navigated another insanely cold winter, but we'd get asked every single day about the return of Detroit's Oldest, Most Historic Bar Tour.

We heard you! As of April 3, we're bringing it back for a limited time on Fridays and Saturdays. If you've been asking about this tour, now's your chance to get in on the action this spring!

Hey!

We’re still looking for excellent teammates to join our school bus driving team. We’re expanding our Ride-for-Ride program with new routes, and we need all-stars with weekday availability to help get youth to their field trips and after-school programs.

Driver positions pay $30/hour — and there’s no late evenings or overnight trips!

Hope to hear from you soon!

🚨 HIRING ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

If you’ve followed us for a while, you may have seen our efforts toward our Ride-for-Ride program, which provides youth transit to after-school programs.

Our partners have seen a major impact on the community, and our plans for 2026 and beyond include growing our transportation program beyond our current footprint. As we continue to expand, we need help! We’re seeking additional drivers who are CDL certified with at least 4 years experience with passenger and school endorsements.

The position would include weekday afternoon transportation to non-profit centers, as well as returning students back home or to their schools in the late afternoon/early evening. Candidates should have weekday afternoon availability; this is not a weekends and evenings position.

If you love your community, making an impact, and getting school children to their programs in safe manner daily, please click on the link below.

We know, we know.

The holidays are over and it's officially back to reality.

The good news is that we keep it moving over here (figuratively and literally) and we're stoked about what 2026 will bring our way!

School is back in session starting Monday, and so is our Ride for Ride program -- which gets Detroit students to vital after-school non-profit programs every day of the week.

✨ ... and to all a good night!

That’s a wrap on the 2025 edition of the Merry & Bright Holiday Lights Tour. We cannot thank you enough! You were holly and jolly from the first time the bus picked up all the way until the last twinkling light was visible. We can’t wait to see you all again next holiday season!�✨

During the rest of the year, we provide bus rentals for schools, private events, corporate partners, and weddings, to name a few. Each reservation helps to support our Ride for Ride program, which helps to get students to after-school programs.

We’re taking a break from our Merry & Bright Holiday Lights tour today for Christmas Eve, but we just had to share some of these tour highlights with you.

We are immensely grateful so many of you joined us for this year’s tour — maybe our best holiday season yet!

If you’re looking to sneak in one more holiday activity, we’ll be back at it this weekend! https://thedetroitbus.com/product/merry-and-bright-the-detroit-holiday-lights-tour

One of our fan favorite buses, appropriately named Heidelberg, re-joined the fleet last week — right on time for the stretch run of the Merry & Bright Holiday Lights tour. 🎄

Guests love this bus because it allows to take a piece of one of Detroit’s historic neighborhoods with them as they take one of our tours around our great city. 🎨

Interested in the Merry & Bright tour? We’ve got limited tickets and one weekend left before we wave goodbye, saying "don’t you cry, we’ll be back again someday." 👉 https://thedetroitbus.com/product/merry-and-bright-the-detroit-holiday-lights-tour/

If you’re interested in buses like Heidelberg for your school, non-profit, wedding or group outing, we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming after the holidays. More info here: https://thedetroitbus.com/rent/
