Night Move bus opens new service in Detroit's city center

--This article originally appeared on June 25, 2009

The Night Move is no longer singular. The popular weekend express shuttle between some of Metro Detroit's most vibrant downtowns now has a companion shuttle called The Loop.

The Night Move goes between downtown Royal Oak, Ferndale and Detroit on Fridays and Saturdays. The Loop will focus on moving between hot spots in Detroit's downtown and Midtown neighborhoods on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Loop will stop at the Town Pump Tavern/Centaur, Bookies Bar and Grill, Greektown, Wayne State, Traffic Jam and Snug and MGM Grand between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. It costs $5 for an all-night pass.

"We'd like to eventually run this bus for free," says Jennifer Harlan, marketing director for The Night Move, adding that accomplishing that requires more sponsorships from area establishments. "That's the end goal."

The Night Move runs on biodiesel and is owned by Chris Ramos.
