Rapid Bus Project for Pontiac --> Downtown Detroit Proposed

[bailey]

This is why you have a bus system feed into the commuter rail. You know better than I do that there is an existing rail station in Birmingham, and near Wayne State / New Center. The whole idea is that a commuter train only stops every several miles, speeding up service. It makes more sense to take a 30-45 minute train ride and transfer to a local bus for a couple blocks, than to take a 90-minute bus ride [[and still perhaps, have to transfer).

Isn't this needlessly complex? Why all the transfering and switching? It's one fucking corridor.
this whole thing should be the route that M1 is taking and being designed for... but yeah, slapping MORE buses together seems like a grand idea. lets make sure we spend 10 years of study on this proposal as well. also, lets see if we can get two or three more modes of service on Woodward between new center and Downtown because that stretch is totally underserved by transit.
