Dial-A-Ride

Niles Dial-A-Ride Transportation (DART) has been serving the greater Niles and Buchanan areas since 1974.  DART is a division of the City of Niles.  DART is funded by federal and state grants, transit millages from the Cities of Niles and Buchanan, and passenger fares.  The service consists of demand response service and one deviated fixed route (Route 2).

DART’s main office is located at 623 N. Second Street.  This location serves as a stop on the deviated fixed route as well as a transfer point to Cass County and the Berrien Bus transit systems.  All DART buses are wheelchair accessible with lifts to bring passengers aboard.
