By bus edit

When you read the guidebooks about Detroit (the few that are published about it) they mention SMART buses and the Detroit Department of Transportation. Bus service in Auburn Hills is slow, complicated, and sometimes even more expensive than driving a car.

By car edit

Because of the geography of Detroit and its environs, the car is king. But don't be afraid of it, cars are only a means to an end; the end being the unique Detroit people.
