A light rail might eventually be a good idea out to Pontiac along Woodward where population is heavier. Detroit Expressways though cut through residential neighborhoods which have become less populated. I do like the idea of using expressways for mass transit though. Articulated buses could be run in express lanes. it would be easier and cheaper to set up landings for them similar to Chicago El landings either along side or in the middle of the expressways like the El or at intersections at ground level. Articulated buses haul up to 120 people or 180 if in three sections. Standard buses could be used on the same routes for less busy times of the day.
