You know, that was one [[of many) of the "killers" that destroyed the fabulous and comprehensive interurban system that Detroit once possessed. The city pols always dictated that once in the city limits, the interurban cars couldn't run express to the downtown, but had to stop at every street corner to pickup and discharge local passengers just like a street car [[at local fares). They did not allow bypass tracks so that the interurbans could speed to the downtown.
