The Royal Oak Transit Center is an intermodal transit station in Royal Oak, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. It is served by Amtrak's Wolverine, which makes three round trips daily from nearby Pontiac to Chicago, Illinois. It also serves as a major hub for the region's SMART public transit network, serving four crosstown routes, and housing the system's only staffed ticket office in the suburbs.[2] The station's Amtrak platform is unstaffed, though there is an Amtrak ticketing kiosk within SMART's facility.
