Blue Water Area Transit is inviting the public to attend the grand opening of the Blue Water Transit Bus Center between McMorran Boulevard and Grand River Avenue, east of Erie Street on Nov. 6. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. in the new center, which is designed to improve BWAT’s downtown bus transfer process.

“We are pleased to introduce this new facility, which will significantly improve our on-time performance, while providing restrooms and other amenities for our passengers,” Jim Wilson, BWAT general manager, said in a release. “It is in a good central location for serving the community college, the senior center, and the McMorran entertainment complex.”

The first official bus transfer is expected to take place at 12:15 p.m., with riders boarding buses headed from downtown to destinations along seven routes that travel throughout the city of Port Huron and Fort Gratiot Township.
