(Michigan City, IN) - Free bus rides are now in effect for the municipal service in Michigan City.

 

According to the mayor’s office, a zero fare transit system for all riders approved by the city’s Board of Public Works & Safety last month took effect on December 1.

 

Michigan City Transit Director Robin Barzoni-Tillman said no cost rides resulted from the leadership of Mayor Angie Nelson Deuitch.

 

“Her commitment to increasing mobility, reducing barriers for low-income and transit-dependent riders, and expanding economic and community access has guided this effort. The mayor has emphasized that public transit is essential infrastructure, and removing fares ensures that every member of the community can travel freely, safely, and affordably,” she said.  

 

By eliminating fares, Tillman said Michigan City Transit aims to enhance service efficiency, reduce boarding times, and improve the overall rider experience.
