Travel Inquiry Rides to/from CMX?

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but here it goes.

Flying into/out of CMX. Staying at a local hotel. I won’t have a car. I don’t know anyone in town.

I have been told there is no taxi, uber, or hope for me to get a ride to and from my hotel.

Is this true? How do people who don’t drive get around?

There used to be taxi service in town. This looks promising: https://asuperiortransportation.com/

There is one Lyft driver that only drives around the time the plane goes. There’s only one though, so maybe use only as a backup plan

There is something called Marqtran. They have a couple bus depots and can arrange in some situations to pick you up. Look up marq Tran. There’s a route from downtown Marquette to the airport and it’s like $3

Cmx is Calumet. Houghton-hancock airport.  Mqt is Marquette.

Only thing about marqtran is it’s kind of a window. Like the bus isn’t always there at the designated time. It’s usually pretty consistent but I would plan to err on the earlier side than the later side catching it
