Description

The station is located at 325 Depot Street.[1] (Although it is in very close proximity to Broadway Street, there is no direct access to Depot Street from Broadway Street.) The station has a ticket office, is fully wheelchair accessible and has an enclosed waiting area. Other amenities include public restrooms, vending machines, paid parking, and a taxi stand. Baggage cannot be checked at this location; however, up to two suitcases in addition to any "personal items" such as briefcases, purses, laptop bags, and infant equipment are allowed on board as carry-ons.

The station replaced the Michigan Central Railroad depot. The present-day station neighbors the Michigan Central depot, which was renovated as the Gandy Dancer restaurant in 1969. The current station was built in 1983. The station is built in a standard design. The station is 1 mile from the Blake Transit Center.
