Dude, I like it, and I take it every single time I go home or come back to MSU.
The last time I took it was March 9th, so you got there a day later... I'm pretty sure they didn't just change their policies or whatever. Sounds like you got lucky. I've taken the Michigan Flyer to East Lansing 4 times. Every time it was a random catch out of the cabs that showed up. In January of this year I had to wait in the freezing cold for about 20 minutes before a cab that I could take showed up.

The owner of Michigan Flyer tries very hard to arrange cabs that will show up on time and take people where they need to go. Lansing has 2 cab companies that are the same company -- Yellow Cab and Spartan Cab -- and then the Go Daddy and others.
You simply cannot trust Lansing cabs. They say they will be there in, say, 15 minutes, and they may be there in 45. Over the last several years I've had a dozen or so times when the dispatcher or the cabbie just plain lied as to when they'd pick me up.
All I'm saying is the operator of Michigan Flyer tries to sync with cabs who will show up when they promise. He can't control how they behave, but he does try.
And, as pointed out, if you need to be dropped at
MSU's campus, you are one block away at the Marriott.
And by the way: the cab fare from my house in Okemos to Capital City Airport (LAN) is about $50. The fare from the Marriott to DTW is $25 on Michigan Flyer.
