Make time for these
The open-top, 14-seat bus rolls through downtown with the sound system cranked, LED lights going, and room to dance, cruising from Grand Circus Park to Campus Martius. You start and end at Detroit Shipping Co., about two hours later. They don't sell alcohol on board — it's BYOB, 21 and up only. On Lions home game days they run a separate tailgate ride with beers and seltzers included, and in winter there's a heated, enclosed holiday lights tour.
