Airport Transportation

Whether you are visiting Grand Rapids for business or pleasure, ride The Rapid. Route 17 serves Gerald R. Ford International Airport. PLEASE NOTE: Route 17 does not run on weekends--check the schedule page for service days and hours.

To get downtown, you'll need to transfer to Route 6 at Woodland Mall. For other destinations, take a look at our system map.

Make fare payment easier during your visit. The Rapid offers unlimited 1-day and 4-day passes. These can be purchased online or on board any Rapid bus. Farecards purchased in advance aren't activated until they are used in the farebox for the first time.
