Yeah I don't think I'm paying theater prices for Ares but if they ever decide to re-release Legacy at an IMAX I can actually get to I'd immediately be down

A friend just rode it today, it's real. I saw the media releases, but wanted to verify the service actually existed before amplifying the coverage as their online presence does not inspire much confidence.

No tracking or new signage as of now. Will keep an eye out for updates.

So... surprise, tunnel service is back and in regular operation starting today. A private operator picked up the route. Fare is $15 each way, cash or credit – see website for timetables.

You know what's best about this? Now that we have multi-year, seemingly stable support for our existing transit with no reliance on rescue funds, our Appropriations subcommittees can finally stop focusing on crisis aversion and start planning for real investment. I'm excited for next year.

The funding is for use statewide but possibly! Believe the $65M will be application based

🚨HUGE WIN for Michigan transit! 🚍

We just secured a record $160 MILLION increase — the largest in state history 🙌

Thanks to relentless transit advocates, pro-transit legislators, and @gretchenwhitmer.bsky.social!

More buses 🚌 Future trains 🚆 More service ✅ More communities connected!

🚨 BUT WAIT: THERE'S MORE

Record overall LBO funding... and then some! Last night's budget brought us $160M in newly dedicated funding for transportation improvements in Michigan, including $65M for rail and high-capacity bus corridors 👏

Considering inflation and rising operational costs, $270M does essentially mean Michigan transit providers are "held harmless" by this budget. That said, most were bracing for a potential funding cut, so stability is very welcome news 🚌

Okay, sustained local bus ops for FY25-26 exceeding not just last year but even the record FY23-24 numbers, *and with no ARPA dollars,* was not on my budget bingo card. $271.6 million!

I'll have to pop the hood on this "Transportation Funding Package" and see what's in there

We now know for sure Belle Isle will be open this weekend. I'll be down there with my bike on Sunday morning, come on out!

(Not my event, found it on IG - seems to be a "just show up" type deal)

Welcome to the quantum legislative session, where state government is both shut down and continuing normal operation until a conference budget is observed
