As a Canton resident, I am extremely pleased to hear of our communities new service - Canton A2Express bus route. This new bus route will operate Monday through Friday and deliver commuters from Independence Park or Cherry Hill Village to several destinations in Ann Arbor beginning August 24th. This service is open to anyone who would like to participate.
The Canton A2Express will start service at 6:00am and run every half an hour until 8:00am from Canton to Ann Arbor. Then, it will run from Ann Arbor to Canton starting at 3:00pm and run every half an hour until 6:00pm.
The full fare commuter pass is $125/month, a 10 ride pass is $40 and a one way fare is $5. The 10 ride pass and the one way fare average out to $8 to $10 for a round trip. While, the full fare pass would cost you less than $3 for a round trip. A standard car making this round trip would cost a little over $7 in gas plus wear and tear on your car for another $1 or $2 for a total of $8.50.
Based on this assessment, you could save approximately $120/month for the full fare commuter pass and about $10/month for the 10 ride pass not to mention reducing your carbon footprint and dependence on natural resources.
