@7 don't worry, we're going to do it by subway. the underground light rail from u district to northgate, though, being $4.3 billion and oh about 4.5 miles...well, expect a 14 mile greenline subway west seattle to ballard to be about oh, $12 billion.
The article's right - it's clean, it's quiet, it (mostly) runs, and if you're downtown, it'll take you to Greektown, or Comerica Park, or Joe Lewis, or Cobo. But you can't, as they say, get there from here. You've got to drive if you want to ride on it. Which, if you think about it, is just the dumbest thing in the world.
I love the People Mover. Great way to get around Detroit.
And I disagree with @11--I've been there plenty of times on transit. It connects up nicely with the Rosa Parks Transit Center, which gets you local and regional buses all over the Detroit area, as well as with the Transit Windsor tunnel bus to Canada.
Such an awesome city. I love visiting it several times per year.
(And they are finally, finally moving ahead with a commuter rail to Ann Arbor and a light rail up Woodward Avenue...)
(Also: same technology as Vancouver's SkyTrain and Toronto's Scarborough Rapid Transit lines. That familiar electric hum of the motors spinning up always feels like home to me, having lived in all three cities now.)
Wow, that's bloody sad. What a waste. Cool video though.
The Detroit episodes are a laugh-along!
Keep hating people for their skin tone guys, I am sure you will end up on the right side of history for that choice.
that monorail we voted down? $2.2 billion.
