If it was built like the Chicago L, it would travel along the median of I-94, up the Southfield freeway, and continue along Michigan Ave, and then go underneath after crossing M-10 and ending up around the RenCen DPM station. If it had 8-10 stops along the way [[notably the Ford HQ, Downtown Dearborn, and Corktown), it would be a huge step in eventually building the infrastructure. Being able to fly into Detroit, not have to rent a car, and be able to go directly to Ford and GM would be HUGE. Is it going to happen? Probably not anytime soon, but it's nice to dream about.
