Sunny Ride on Detroit's People Mover

A beautiful sunny day in Detroit, the occasion to enjoy a ride on the People Mover.
The Detroit People Mover (DPM) is a 2.94-mile (4.73 km) elevated automated people mover system in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The system operates in a one-way loop on a single track encircling downtown Detroit, using Intermediate Capacity Transit System linear induction motor technology developed by the Urban Transportation Development Corporation.
The People Mover is owned and operated by the Detroit Transportation Corporation, an agency of the Detroit city government.
The People Mover is supplemented by the QLine streetcar, which connects the system with Midtown, New Center, and the Detroit Amtrak station. The system also connects to DDOT and SMART bus routes as part of a comprehensive network of transportation in metropolitan Detroit.

Nice video! In the 1970s the Urban Mass Transit Administration asked American cities for proposals to fund People Mover systems in their downtown cores. Three cities were chosen which were Detroit, Jacksonville & Miami. The most successful system to date has been Miami which built a double loop and is 5 miles (8 km) long. It would have been great if Detroit had built a double loop & expanded it's system.

Thanks for the ride!

Every now and then, they reverse the way it travels. Back in 2014, it went clockwise.

Vancouver has newer mk.2, mk.3 and soon mk.5 models...mk.1 like these will be retired in the next few years.

Ton of reasons why they don't stop: Times Square, Fort/Cass, Renaissance Center, Bricktown and Cadillac Center.
