Detroit Public Transportation: 2014 and beyond.

[masterblaster]

By the way, while we're here talking about buses, I'm surprised at the paucity of comments about the Detroit bus route restructuring, which is pretty significant, and not just in the renumbering of a dozen routes [[which everyone will get adjusted to in the first week). Many routes have picked up frequency, some significantly [[though two lost frequency a bit) and there are now twelve [[I believe) 24 hour routes, the most in a very long time.

I think it is step in the right direction. Some of these 24-hour routes like Vernor and Greenfield are quite interesting. Just a few years ago, Vernor was a completely different route that ended at 9 pm [[its route used to have an eastside portion and didn't goes downtown). Now it is 24-hour line.

There is a route nearest me, Tireman #47, which is just pathetic. It stopped going downtown, and during the middle of the day and weekends, the route is shrunk into a short 6-mile route that doesn't even go to Rouge Park, where Tireman Avenue ends.

I don't like that the frequency of the Woodward bus will decline during some periods of the day [[But the FAST can help ... somewhat).

I would really be impressed also if they finally integrate the PeopleMover with DDOT, so that you can transfer to the PeopleMover seamlessly. You should be able to use the new $2/4-hour card on the PeopleMover if you transfer from a route that takes you downtown.
