Why GP, are you actually suggesting an Ayn Randian free enterprise solution to Detroit's woes would be better?
You're right on transit -- to a degree. My socialist side says that there is some space for mandated coverage -- but not too much. Today, then pendulum has swung too far. The best solution for DDOT would clearly be to cover areas not covered by private jitneys. If you opened up Woodward to private buses and jitneys excellent service [[with a mean security guard on board) would appear in moments.
Sometimes the solution isn't more government and regulation.
