Transit Guide: Detroit

@MidtownDetroit

Activated my first DART pass! Its good for up to 4 hours of unlimited rides & transfers. I’m headed home from a meeting in @MidtownDetroit on @smartbusorg FAST route #461 & will transfer to #710-9 Mile in @FerndaleMich. #DetroitTransitRider

There’s about 25 people on this bus including a young couple from Russia.

Heading east on SMART #710-9 Mile at 5pm on a Saturday. There are 15 people on this bus. Who says no one rides the bus in the suburbs?

Less than 40 minutes from Warren & Woodward to home in South Warren. Not bad for $2. Can’t do that on Uber. If I want to go out later, my pass is still good for three hours and 20 minutes.

I know that Detroit’s been the Motor City for over 100 years now but 157 years of continuous public transit is nothing to scoff at. I wish there was more public transit merch in Detroit.

This is the only shirt I’ve found for Detroit buses. redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Detr…

I will have to order a @detpeoplemover shirt though. redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Detr…

@RTAmichigan

Perhaps you already know or perhaps this is your first time seeing this. This is a map of the current transit coverage in SE Michigan. As you can see, we need more than an autonomous lane connecting Ann Arbor to Detroit. (Map by @RTAmichigan)

@RTAmichigan

We need improved passenger rail service that connects the whole region and is more frequent than Amtrak. (Image by @RTAmichigan)

@RTAmichigan

We need direct bus routes to the airport from major cities like Ann Arbor, Novi, Troy, Clinton Township and Detroit. *We should include downriver too. (Image by @RTAmichigan)

@WinterBlast

Headed to @WinterBlast from Warren & Woodward on the SMART FAST bus. Plenty of parking on Warren across from @waynestate.

@LCArena_Detroit

Woo hoo! We’re in the transit only lane speeding past @LCArena_Detroit. Quick trip downtown.

@WinterBlast

The FAST bus normally detours around Campus Martius, which is currently closed to traffic for @WinterBlast, so we’ll get dropped off at Woodward & Larned, not far from the end of the zip line.
