A real, functioning public-transit system

Kalamazoo Metro Transit operates a citywide bus network, including Route 12 (Portage), which serves the airport directly -- a real, practical public-transit option most of this project's Metro Detroit markets lack.

AZO airport: real, current, but limited service

Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO), roughly 10-15 minutes from downtown, offers real, current commercial service via Delta and American Airlines -- genuinely more limited than a major hub airport, but a real, practical convenience.
