Find the Bus That Works for Your Long-Distance Transportation

For easy long-distance group travel from Southgate, the right bus makes all the difference between a great trip and a grueling one! A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach is the gold standard for runs over three hours — reclining seats, climate control, an onboard restroom, overhead storage, power outlets, WiFi, and up to 500 cubic feet of undercarriage luggage space so every bag fits below and nobody is cramped above. For shorter long-distance trips like Ann Arbor for a Michigan football game or Frankenmuth for a day at Bronner's, a 15- to 35-passenger minibus keeps the group together without the footprint of a full coach.

Northern Michigan Group Travel to Traverse City and Mackinac Island

It's never been easier to plan a northern Michigan group trip from Southgate! Traverse City is approximately 240 miles north via US-23 and US-31 — about 3.5 to 4 hours — and it's one of the most sought-after group destinations in the state, especially during the National Cherry Festival in late June and early July. Mackinac Island is about 300 miles north on I-75, roughly 4.5 to 5 hours to Mackinaw City, where your group boards the Arnold Line ferry at 801 S Huron Ave, Mackinaw City, MI 49701 for the crossing to the island.

Arnold Transit accepts oversized vehicles in designated lots and provides complimentary shuttle service from off-site parking to the dock. Your bus can stay with the mainland parking plan while you take the ferry instead of splitting the group across cars. Because no cars are permitted on Mackinac Island, the bus drops at the ferry dock and your group takes the boat across — a seamless handoff when it's planned right.

Charter a Bus to Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor or Frankenmuth

charter a bus to michigan stadium in ann arbor or frankenmuth

Choose a motorcoach for the short-but-mighty long-distance runs that fill up fastest on the Michigan calendar! Ann Arbor is only about 30 miles northwest of Southgate via US-23 — roughly 30 to 45 minutes — but Michigan Stadium holds 107,601 fans, making it the largest stadium in the United States, and home football Saturdays are among the single highest-demand bus dates in the entire state. Groups from Southgate and the Downriver communities book Ann Arbor shuttles four to six months out or more.

Football-day drop-off is near Gate 3 on East Stadium Boulevard, and E. Hoover Street between S. Division Street and Greene Street closes 90 minutes before kickoff; the official Michigan Stadium parking and pedestrian map shows the exact access points. Your bus gets the group to the Gate 3 side before the football crowd closes Hoover, so you are not trying to unload on a closed approach. Frankenmuth is about 90 miles north on I-75, a 1.5-hour run to Bronner's Christmas Wonderland at 25 Christmas Lane, Frankenmuth, MI 48734 — a perennial favorite for school groups, church groups, and holiday parties.

Multi-Day and Overnight Bus Trips From Southgate, Michigan

Booking a multi-day trip to Nashville, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, or Toronto? A full-size motorcoach makes the overnight run comfortable with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays so every bag fits below. Nashville is about 500 miles south on I-75 — 7 to 8 hours — and Indianapolis is roughly 280 miles via I-75 and I-69, about 4 to 4.5 hours.

For groups crossing into Canada to visit Toronto or Niagara Falls, all passengers need valid passports or enhanced driver's licenses, and the group must cross via the Ambassador Bridge — the Detroit–Windsor Tunnel is not open to buses.
