Bay Area Transportation Authority

Bay Area Transit Authority (BATA) is a public transit agency that serves Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties in the US state of Michigan.

History

BATA was formed February 1, 1985, out of the former Leelanau County transit combined with the Dial-A-Ride service in Traverse City, Michigan. Over the years BATA has changed routes and branding their reputation to riders with technology improvements on buses.[1] BATA launched their new Bayline service on June 25th, 2018. This is the first high-frequency, east-west connection for the region, with buses every 12–15 minutes, 7am – 11pm, and it is fare-free.

gollark: I simply do not exercise, except when I do.
gollark: Also eternal youth/relatively good health, but I figure you would basically have to have that for immortality anyway.
gollark: That's higher than average life expectancy basically everywhere, and for much of it you are an old person and unable to do much.
gollark: I mean "immortality" as in "will not randomly die of old age and such", not "live for an infinite amount of time", which would have problems.
gollark: Ideally I would just be immortal, but who knows how that's likely to go.
