If we have decided that we need stops bunched so close together, because we as a region can not walk an 1/8th of a mile down the street, why bother with the expense of rail? Just beef up the current stop-every-two-blocks bus system with more buses a dedicated bus lane. save all the hassle.
Nobody rides the DPM from Greektown to Bricktown and gets off, just like nobody gets on the Woodward bus at Warren and gets off at Farnsworth. I don't see where the fact that it's possible to use a transit system in a way that makes no rational sense is necessarily a flaw in the design of the system.
