Upcoming Trip to Dearborn
I’m taking my custom hay baler to Dearborn on the 23rd of this month; coming home late on the 26th. Thought we’d spend the entire Tuesday afternoon at Piquette and the next 3 days at THF and Greenfield. Is the bus system from the airport manageable or should we rely on cabs? Are any other Forum Friends going there at this time?

Re: Upcoming Trip to Dearborn
The DTW airport has a bus stop on the lower level. It takes you up Middlebelt Road and connects to Warren Avenue. That will get you to Dearborn. I’m not sure if it’s the M-39 Southfield bus or the Warren Avenue bus that goes through Fairlane Mall. That bus takes you to the Henry Ford. For Piquette, a cab is your best bet in my opinion.
The bus routes are on line. Middlebelt to Michigan could also be an option.

How does the cost of a rental car compare with taxis?

Re: Upcoming Trip to Dearborn
Rent a car - it'll give you much more flexibility. With a rental, you might want to visit the excellent Stahl Automobile Collection which is ONLY open Tuesday and one Saturday a month. Just jump on I-94 East and head for the NE suburbs <http://www.stahlsauto.com/>
Go further afield and Michigan has some great car collections (Gilmore, RE Olds, Sloan, etc.)
