LOL, no.

Maybe 5% of the region [[if that) regularly uses mass transit. Of that subcategory, I would bet a majority are below the poverty line.

It sucks for those folks, and we should do much more to assist in their mobility, but transit is close-to-irrelevent for most Michiganians, which is why your ideas have no chance of political traction in Lansing.

The auto industry and, to a much lesser extent, tourism, are the lynchpins of the state economy.
