LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – CATA’s Rydz pilot program is making a few upgrades.
The app-based service allows users to take minivans directly to their destinations, instead of taking a bus on a specified route.
New funds will allow Rydz to expand late-night service, allowing third-shift workers to catch a ride in the Lansing and Delta Township zones.
Late-night riders must schedule their trips two hours in advance on the app. The service will be available 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day.
Early morning trips can be arranged on Saturday and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. between the Lansing and Delta Township zones. Rides within a zone are not available during late-night hours.
Trips cost $1.25.
Other improvements include:
- Delta Township’s zone has expanded to increase on-demand travel and broaden access to regional transit services. The boundaries now extend north to Willow Highway and east to portions of Creyts and Waverly roads.
- Downtown Lansing’s zone has also expanded, providing more solutions for on-demand travel and access to CATA’s fixed-route system. The new zone extends north to Old Town, east to Pennsylvania Avenue, south to Mt. Hope Avenue and southwest to a portion of Waverly Road.
- The Airport/MSU service has extended service until 1 a.m. as all ride requests move to a prebooking reservation. Travelers must schedule their rides at least two hours in advance.
