MCB got a call from the folks over at "The Night Move" today and they filled us in on some the details behind metro detroit's newest form of green transpo - a biofuel-shuttle service!"I have some positive news for you that's going to be really big for bridging the gap between downtown and suburbanites. I'm writing to tell you about the Night Move (www.thenightmove.com), metro Detroit's new shuttle service.
The service will run from Royal Oak to Ferndale to Detroit and back every weekend night.
The plan is to encourage people and by proxy, commerce, into the city by targeting those who are hesitant to venture down on their own, for reasons like the hassle of driving and their safety concerns about going into the city alone and leaving a car unattended. We'll also save people gas money and help the environment, both by being a carpool-like alternative to individual vehicles, and by running on B20 biodiesel." - Jennifer Harlan from The Night Move
