This is the problem. Te Detroit area doesn't have a commuter problem with unbelievable traffic jams. Transit isn't needed to relieve congestion on Woodward, the Lodge, or the Chrysler. Transit is needed in Detroit as a "loser cruiser" and Detroit really hasn't done much to improve conditions on DDOT and make it an acceptable system for those people who are dependent on transit. As noted, this line will be a parking shuttle and will allow the WSU kids to go downtown and back to the bars without worrying about DUIs. This line will just make the situation on DDOT worse, because it will siphon off operating funds from DDOT to keep it running after the billionaires have built it.
