Any Detroit fans going to Rocket Home games -need a ride
Until a medical condition clears up, I can't drive to the games in September and possibly part of October. If anyone from the Detroit area is going - I'd like to hitch a ride and share in the travel expenses. If not, I'll be watching from home on the tube. Or may have to hire a college kid to drive me. May be the most inexpensive way of doing it, then have to keep them from drinking beer during the game so they can drive back....

Not worth hiring a cab - way too expensive.

Don't know if it's ideal, but the greyhound from Detroit to Toledo is super cheap. I've done it a few times. Megabus might be easier as it goes to UTs campus.

Megabus goes to UT now? I might have to start using it more often. It was a pain for me to get a ride down to South Toledo

Wrong direction for me but hope the medical gets in order and you're able to get to the games.

Looked at that option, doesn't get to downtown Toledo station until around 7:30 pm on the 3rd....

There is earlier ones it seems?

Sorry about Megabus, Im so used to taking them back and forth between Cleveland/Toledo/Chicago, but there isnt a megabus between Toledo/Detroit yet.

Only one bus per/day on the schedule....

Amazing at the lack of any mass transportation options in any of the US cities. Everyone is committed to having their own car for all their travel. Makes it convenient, but also eliminates the viability for most mass transit companies to set up. May just try to leave early and then drive back during the day the following day and take half day vacation.

RE: Any Detroit fans going to Rocket Home games -need a ride
my search pulls up 10 buses from DET to Toledo. granted a few of them are after 6pm so its useless, but there are others.

I live in Chicago and don't have a car so for traveling I depend on Megabus/Greyhound/Amtrak.
