When the University of Michigan Wolverines made a run for the NCAA Football National Championship, a local Wyoming alumni group reached out to Shuttlebus.net for help getting to Ann Arbor for the game.

The group was picked up at their hotel in Wyoming and dropped off at Michigan Stadium, where they were able to enjoy the game without worrying about parking or navigating through crowds. After the game, their driver was waiting for them to take them back home.
For this trip, the group rented a 56-passenger charter bus for $4,500, which included all fees.

This trip is about 7 miles each way and takes around 15–20 minutes depending on traffic.
