The transit authority offers loop service with dedicated routes and fixed stops throughout Traverse City and the surrounding villages, as well as link service that functions as a traditional dial-a-ride. In addition, BATA introduced programs like Bike-n-Ride, Ski-n-Ride, and various event and festival shuttles, broadening standard service offerings. One-way fares range from $1.50 to $6.00 and reduced fares are available for students, seniors, and the disabled.
