I took the Arrow Communications Association (Ann Arbor, MI) bus trip to Dayton (Xenia) in 2018. It's a good plan for a relatively painless one-day visit to the convention.
They use a big Greyhound type bus with a washroom. It leaves Ann Arbor about 4:30 AM on Saturday & gets to the convention site when the gates open at 9:00 AM. The bus is waiting when the gates close at 5:00 PM and takes you back to Ann Arbor. They have coffee & bagels in the morning and stop at a fast food place for supper.
Hard not to have a great time in a bus filled with hams!
Here's their announcement for this year's trip.
