The Silver Line is a bus rapid transit line run by the Interurban Transit Partnership in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. The line runs along Division Avenue on the Wyoming-Kentwood border into downtown Grand Rapids, where it loops around before terminating at Central Station. It began operation on August 25, 2014.[1]
The route is part of The Rapid transit network in the Grand Rapids metro area. It is the first BRT service in the state of Michigan.
There are 34 stations including the terminus platform at Central Station. All stations are equipped with a fare card vending machine, 24-hour lighting and an emergency phone. An illuminated text display informs passengers of expected arrival times. All stations have raised platforms that align with the floor of the rapid transit vehicle, making for very easy boarding and alighting.

The Silver Line route travels 9.6 miles (15 km), mostly along Division Avenue from 60th Street on the Wyoming-Kentwood border, crossing into the City of Grand Rapids at 28th Street, and loops via Wealthy, Jefferson, Fulton, Ransom, Crescent, Bostwick, Michigan, Monroe, Market, Weston and Grandville to Central Station in Grand Rapids.
Between 28th Street and Wealthy Street, Division Avenue has two "bus only" lanes which during peak hours only allow Silver Line vehicles passage, reducing delays due to conflicts with general traffic during busy times.
Schedule
The Silver Line provides service 7 days a week, during similar hours to the rest of the Rapid network.
