way cool! nice find!
That's pretty good for being entirely fabricated. I like it.
Somebody sure spent a lot of time and effort on that. Would love to see it come to fruition.
I agree, pretty impressive. They definitely need to tone down the snarkiness though.Quote:

I am impressed by the depth,sophistication and, yes, humor of this project. It must be something produced for a university urban planning class and deserves an A+. "Dare to struggle, dare to dream."

Clever, and not dissimilar to what Portland does with it's light rail system. I had heard somewhere that someone had proposed a commuter system similar to the "Arbor Line". Anything come of that?
Wondering how u came upon this Russix, someone showed this to me a few weeks ago. Maybe we know the same people:)
I was actually surprised this hadn't been posted to DetroitYes yet. I found it on the Support Detroit Transit Facebook page.Quote:

Surprising [[or not, now that I re-read my post) how much easier it is to understand services and get information about routes, fares, destinations on this fake page than it is on real transit pages that have had money and years of professional hours spent on them...
No kidding. They need a much larger disclaimer on the site or else I fear people will start asking me on the street what time the Freshwater train or bus leaves.Quote:
