And there it is.....

Fifty plus years of a bus-only transit system have bought DDOT to its knees. Fifty plus years of pushing sprawl in which the people who moved to the boonies are required to have a car killed any talk of a real transit network for Metro Detroit. Fifty plus years of city/suburb division and division between the races is the reason why DDOT is on life support and SMART is fighting to survive.

It will always amazes me how a region as big as Metro Detroit could go for generations without a real mass transit network.
