Working Late?  Need a ride home?  When the buses stop running, Night Ride is here!

General Information

Night Ride is a late-night, shared-ride taxi service run by the AATA.  Night Ride costs $5 per trip, but is only $3 with your go!pass.  With Night Ride service to compliment the normal AATA fixed route service, car-free transportation is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year within Ann Arbor. 

To be able to use the go!pass discount on Night Ride you must meet the following requirements:

1. One of the trips made using the go!pass discount *must* start or end in the Downtown Development Authority’s boundaries.
   
2. The trip must be work-related, and no pick ups will be done at any University of Michigan buildings.

Night Ride service is available from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on weekdays (Monday-Friday), and 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. on weekends (Saturday and Sunday).

New Service Starting January 29, 2012: Night Ride's service area now includes the portion of Ypsilanti between Clark/Huron River Drive on the north, Ellsworth/Michigan Avenue on the south, east to Huron. See the detailed map here.
