Oh, come on. Stop being pedantic. While the buses are in service, they plan to have police on them. What I find weird is that people seem to think that this [[the need for transit police) says something about Detroit when even the article is clear in that Detroit is basically the only system its size without a dedicated transit police presence. Still, until DDOT is spun off as a seperate entity like transit agencies just about everywhere else in the country, it's going to be hard to run a system dependent directly upon a city budget, even when the city's budget is healthier. I've been trying to rack my brain for another large city where the area's premiere transit agency is a literal city department directly dependant upon the city's general fund, and I can't think of any off the top of my head. This is an usual set-up. This really could have been posted in the existing transit thread, though. It's not worthy of its own.
