Blue Water Area Transit is the primary provider of mass transportation in St. Clair County, Michigan. Service was first initiated in 1976, after private providers ceased transit operations. From Monday through Saturday, six local routes are provided, plus the Shopper Shuttle, which uses buses styled to look like streetcars from the early 1900s, to connect the Court of Flags Mall and various big box stores. On weekdays, two commuter routes are provided to Chesterfield Township, a growing Detroit suburb that features a variety of suburban office parks. Routes are also timed in conjunction with Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation, to allow riders to transfer to Route 560 to reach Downtown Detroit.
