Make it a lunch date.  Would you like to just "try" transit before you commit to a longer term relationship?  Riders new or returning to BATA can visit the Traverse Area District Library's website to reserve your spot in line to check out a free BATA City and Village Loop 31-Day Commuter Pass.  The library has a limited number of passes (3) to distribute each month and we appreciate your patience. Once you use the Commuter Pass, riders can refill the value of their card at Hall Street.
