Ridership for the 2019 calendar year was 1.6 million. For the last 20 years, other than years when construction has interrupted the system, it's usually between 2 and 2.4 million [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_People_Mover). In 2018 it was still at 1.9. I really don't know what happened to make it go so low in 2019.

Looking at their website now it looks like sometime within the last few months they got a new [[interim) general manager. idk if the previous one retired [[she'd been there a billion years) or if there was a shakeup, but either way hopefully it will be a good change.
Kind of shocked, didn't think the ridership numbers were anywhere near that high.
