Also, like a bunch of other people on here are saying, yes, for the love of Christ, DDOT needs more money. Yes, it's inefficient in some ways, but I don't get why people think that's incompatible with it needing more money. Regardless of the maintenance issues, it doesn't have enough money right now to provide as much service as people need to get around Detroit. You're not going to squeeze enough out of efficiency gains to change that. Cutting or freezing funding until they get their shit together is just completely dismissive of the real transit needs of people in this city. Everything isn't always about efficiency and the bottom line. Jeezus.
