I
highly recommend a ride on Detroit's People Mover as it offers
a stunning view of the downtown area, good and bad, that will
not hide the promise and struggle facing our city.

People
Mover
Detroit's
elevated People Mover rolls into the Renaissance Center. The
key link in establishing mass transit into the downtown area,
it was to be the hub of a radiating light rail mass transit
system.
Severe
recession and political infighting in the 70's left the plan
stillborn with only the 3 mile People Mover loop built. Still,
it has greatly enhanced mobility in the downtown area in spite
of being derided as "The Train to Nowhere".
If you come to
Detroit, make sure the first thing you do is ride the people
mover around for a couple of laps. It will be the best fifty
cents you ever spent. The views are spectacular and you
will witness the tragedy and triumph of Detroit.
