I get to Detroit quite often, but never took the People Mover. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I took it from inside Greektown Casino to Comerica Park to see the Tigers.

The people mover is a fun ride around downtown. It's a one way loop with quite a few stations. It costs only 50c. It moves pretty quickly, the total loop was less than 30 minutes. You see quite a few interesting buildings, and go right through Cobo Hall Convention Center. A fun ride, and with no operator you can look... more
