The Culture Bus is a series of bus trips from the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor to selected events and locations in the Detroit metropolitan and surrounding areas for U-M students and accompanying faculty and staff.

The Culture Bus program is designed to:

• provide access to arts and cultural experiences for undergraduate students who might have barriers to transportation.
• provide a diverse educational experience within a social group setting.
• serve as a tool for faculty by providing opportunities for learning through the arts in an out-of-classroom experience.

By riding the Culture Bus, participants can take advantage of group discounts to the exhibitions and performances at a variety of arts and cultural institutions. (To receive these discounts you MUST ride the Culture Bus).

Please note: We are giving first priority to undergraduate students and leaders of undergraduate groups. We will give graduate students and non-group-leader faculty or staff any extra spots on a first-come, first-served basis. Please fill out the form as usual, and we will notify you two weeks prior to the trip if you have a spot on the bus. We will only run your credit card if you receive a spot.
