    Awesome! Very cool!!

    [[I bet they'd still do this when the fare is raised to 75 cents....or yes, even $1).

    I absolutely dig this. Only, my luck would be that I'd be stuck on the PM with that band at the 4:56 mark. I'd rather walk.

    Amazing this is the first time the fare has been raised since this moving boondoggle started.

    I was in Bangkok yesterday and took some pictures of their version of the people mover. Its actually functional and thought out you can use it to get from downtown to home and not just go in a big circle and it costs from .65 to about 1.25 to ride to get from one end to the other takes about 40 minutes. Many sections also have a build in walk way underneath Name:  IMG_1077.jpg

    TheEnergizer if your watching your money you should use it as soon as you get to BKK it goes from the airport all the way downtown for about 2 dollars and its just as quick as a taxi which would cost you on the low side about $15.00. I wish we had something like this at metro airport I hate having to find a ride to the airport everytime I want fly somewhere. Detroit is the worst places in the world for getting to and from the airport

    It is rather outside of my tastes, but I still appreciate it. It's very unique and covers quite a wide variety of culture within Detroit and beyond.

    I know, i was mostly joking. The hipsters are definately something I dont understand but they make good people watching and they are going to play a part in the revival of the city.

    Good video.

    I use the people mover all time when I'm downtown as it serves a purpose of moving people around downtown. I love how those people in the video are given off energy.

    Its not all hipsters. If you get more than half-way though you will get some good blues. I thinks its a bit long, but all in all an interesting experiment.
