Transportation from the Lansing Capital City Airport

 

\

If you cannot fly directly from your home city into Lansing, then you should fly into a larger airport such as Detroit, MI or Chicago, IL, and then fly from there into Lansing.  Detroit is not close to Michigan State University – it is an hour or more away by car.

Transportation from Lansing Capital City Airport to MSU

 

TAXI or VAN  (about $20.00 or $2500 for up to 4 passengers)

You may call for a taxi or van by using the direct phone lines to the Capital Transport Service (482-1444) at the baggage claim area or at the main entrance of the airline terminal.  Either the taxi or van will take you directly to the location you request – give them the address and tell them it is on or right near the MSU campus.

 

BUS  (about $1.00)  You will need to transfer twice.

Tell the Bus Driver where you are going.  He or she will be happy to help you.
