History
BATA was formed February 1, 1985, out of the former Leelanau County transit combined with the Dial-A-Ride service in Traverse City, Michigan. Over the years BATA has changed routes and branding their reputation to riders with technology improvements on buses. BATA launched their new Bayline service on June 25th, 2018. This is the first high-frequency, east-west connection for the region, with buses every 12–15 minutes, 7am – 11pm, and it is fare-free.Services
