Kentwood is served by The Rapid’s fixed-route buses, which connect to downtown Grand Rapids and nearby suburbs. While affordable, public transit lacks direct routes to many schools, business parks, or event venues, and offers limited schedules—especially evenings and weekends.

We provide charter bus service to all airports in the region, including Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO), Muskegon County Airport (MKG), Lansing Capital Region International Airport (LAN), and even Chicago O’Hare (ORD) or Detroit Metro (DTW) for longer-distance transfers. We handle curbside pickups, airline crew shuttles, and baggage claim meet-and-greet services.
