Given that we're in Michigan, it's actually a wonder that we have a bus system at all. A lot of towns our size in Michigan don't because of the idea that mass transit undermines the auto industry. This is no longer such a big political stick, but it's got very, very deep roots here, especially in this part of the state.
There are several holidays when the buses just don't run, maybe as many as half a dozen of them. The assumption is that most businesses will be closed those days and that anyone who absolutely has to get to work will find another way.
So no bus service on the 4th of July. None on Christmas or on New Year's Day. I think Labor Day and Memorial Day also have no service, but I'd have to look at the bus company's website to check. (I'm not coming up with a sixth holiday that seems likely for no service, so perhaps it's only five days when they don't run.)
