What an absolute fucking joke!! The train to nowhere. Don't forget to bring your gun!!! OH! Leave your $1200 Cartier sunglasses at home or they negroes be takin' dem.
I went all the way from Denmark to Detroit to see the City. I liked downtown very much. I have just oploaded some videos that shows the city from a better point of view.
@cougarsstudios Yea. The spelling was, um, interesting. As for the People Mover, it really can't be considered a form of (usable) mass transit. It's circle route is so small that you could really just walk from one point to another and bypass the train. It seems to be nothing more than a fun sight-seeing tool for suburban Tigers fans after a day at Comerica Park.
@MaximumLantern Is there another way to spell it? And yeah the downtown really isnt that big that they really needed that. They could/should maybe expand it to like new center or something. Then there'd actually be a point to use it. Not enough people live downtown that that would be a good mode of transportation. Or even belle isle would be nice.
@cougarsstudios I totally agree. If the People Mover were to connect downtown with New Center, if would have to run up through Midtown, and there'd be plenty of riders in the Wayne State and Medical Center Areas. It could also connect to the three Casinos, so people at one casino could hop around from one casino to the next, using the People Mover. (awfully)

@MaximumLantern Well I think they're building a train system up woodward from downtown to somewhere i'm not sure. You heard anything about it? Maybe they'll run it to the suburbs and more people will go down there.
Thank you for the comments. Detroit has actually been one of my most interesting travel assignments ever, a study of extreme contrasts and a great place to learn about history. It may be surprising, but Detroit has many beautiful places to see despite its challenges. Personally, I did not find the downtown area all that unsafe although I did stay away from the darker streets and alleys. The Peoplemover did not seem dangerous at all and it's a great way of catching all the major downtown sights.
thank you for your answer, i'm generally very interested in the U.S. that's why i do a lot of research about almost anything that has to do with the U.S. and as far as getting glimpses of american cities is concerned, youtube is my first choice :D plans of moving to the U.S. are already in the works, i've got relatives in the U.S. in the great state of North Carolina where i've already been to, and like i said, my plans of moving there are already taking serious shape, greetings from germany.
@D11cantonx .... I agree that "downtown isnt bad at all." But I disagree with your assessment of the Southwest side being dangerous. I don't think it is. Some of the areas along Michigan Avenue are a little dicey, sure, but go further south into the Mexicantown area and you simply find that urban cluster / critical mass that is predominatly lacking in the rest of the city.
I hate Detroit BUT the people mover is not dangerous. It is VERY safe and very middle class. Well dressed middle class business people who are friendly. . Strange it goes to Greek Town a very nice block in the middle of hell. The people who ride it are goverment federal civil servants, Circut and District court workers. City and county workers and employees of General Motors. Strange but true. This folks are around in the day time but gone after the sun goes down,
Thanks for showing Detroit in a good light.
