Late-night shared-ride public transportation in Ann Arbor

Night Ride is a late-night, shared-ride taxi service organized and funded by the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority. The AATA contracts with Blue Cab to operate the service. The AATA initiated Night Ride in response to the community's need for safe, low-cost transportation late at night. Anyone may use Night Ride, but all Night Ride trips are limited to within the city of Ann Arbor only.

Night Ride complements AATA's Fixed Route service by providing round-the-clock, public transportation within Ann Arbor. Trips are even available on major holidays.

HOW TO USE NIGHT RIDE

All Night Ride trips must be scheduled by phone reservation. To book a trip, simply call the special Night Ride service phone number: 734.528.5432. Drivers are not permitted to pick up passengers who attempt to flag down a vehicle. Give the dispatcher the following information: your pickup location, destination and number of passengers (including any non-paying children). Inform the dispatcher if you are using a car seat or wheelchair.

Night Ride operates much like regular cab service with these important differences:

• The fare is $5.00 per person regardless of the length of the trip.
  
• The fare for individuals with an AATA issued ADA or senior identification card is $2.50.
  
• Night Ride cabs normally take 15-40 minutes to arrive to pick up passengers. The average wait is 20 minutes.
  
• Night Ride is a shared-ride service. The cab may pick up and/or drop off other passengers while you are in the cab.
  
• It is recommended that you allow at least an hour to complete your trip. The average trip takes about 45 minutes.
  
• You may carry and take with you only what you can hold on your lap, except wheelchairs and walkers.
