Detroit Metropolitan Airport Transportation
By taxi
Taxi services are available outside all exits. Mini-vans are available
on request and all taxis are metered. A journey into the city takes
about half an hour.
By car
You can get to the airport from either of the two interstate highways.
From the I-94 Middleman/Merriman Road take exit 198 turning into
Rogell Drive. From the I-275 Eureka
Road turn off at exit 15.
By bus
Take the no 285 from the Smith Terminal into downtown Detroit and
other areas. You'll need to take two buses to get into town. The
new terminal does not have a ground transportation area so travellers
should take the free shuttle bus to the Smith Terminal.
Parking
Short-term, long term and disabled parking are all provided for
close to the airport, with easy access of terminals. The car parks
and terminals are connected by a free shuttle service.
