Train Attendant
Has anybody had bad experiences from leaving their car parked there for up to 2 weeks? I guess I'm talking about break-ins, vandalism or total theft.
As it turns out, the "short term" lot right next to the station building is for 4 hour parking max. Each space has it's own meter and you just load it up with quarters. On another forum I read that this particular lot would allow you to park 24hrs/$5. Wrong! There might be other lots in the immediate area with this rate though. Anyway, it's no concern of mine now since I switched my departure station from Ann Arbor to Dearborn. For an additional charge of $10.20 to make the switch. Free parking there in a big lot by the station off Michigan Ave. behind the Dearborn Police Station. Now I can leave my car there for the 2 weeks I'm gone.Thanks all for your comments and reassurances. Since my train from Chicago arrives in Ann Arbor at about 11:30 pm, I originally asked a friend to meet me with her car. The other option which prompted this post was to just park my car there for two weeks and not bother anybody about picking me up at that late hour. The third idea is to have a friend take my car and park it in the short term lot the afternoon of my arrival. Or whatever constitutes "short term" there at the station which I can probably call and find out.
There are plenty of parking lots downtown, there are 3 on next to the main bus depot (Blake). However you will have to pay for all of them, and there probably is a limit to how long you could park there. I'm not sure, but there might be a long-term lot at the Greyhound station, or you might be able to park long-term at the MegaBus Lot, given those choices, the MegaBus lot would probably be the best; but I don't know for certain if you can park long term there, the lot is owned by UofM. I'll get back to you.Thanks for the quick feedback. I am not certain about options for Taxis from my home....I am in the country. I suppose if there were other lots in the A^2 area, one could park there and ride a Bus/Cab. As for the photo of Dearborn, that would be cool. I would think others could get a use from that.
Here's one way to get a fairly good estimate: https://www.taxifarefinder.com/?lang=enHow much is a taxi ride from the station to your home?
