BATA Service Alert: On Saturday, Nov. 23 from 4-9 p.m. the Bayline will not be able to service any stops on Front and State Streets between Pine and Grandview Parkway due to road closures associated with the Traverse City Holiday Light Parade. Both the east and westbound Bayline routes will still be able to service BATA’s Hall Street Transfer Station which is a short walk to the parade route. We apologize for the inconvenience and the route will return to its normal path as soon as the roads open again. Please call BATA Customer Service at 231.941.2324 with questions.
