What does that buy you that the existing rail line between Detroit and Ann Arbor, that is already serviced by a 45 minute train trip every day, doesn't? Look at the opportunity cost. There is already a train that goes from the new center area to Ann Arbor. You can spend billions of dollars building another thing that does the same thing, or build something else.
