The 53 Woodward and the M-1 Rail will do completely different things while complementing each other at the same time. The bus goes to 8 Mile. M-1 Rail does not. 53 makes more frequent stops, while M-1 Rail will most likely carry more people.
It's like saying Manhattan doesn't need buses because they already have the subway. No, they need buses and they need the subway. Buses and streetcars [[or light rail or subway) aren't mutually exclusive.
