detroit needs subways

Ha Ha. Wow, that took some timing to work out. At least there was a nice smooth surface to drive on.
 
Detroit needs to be concerned about their appearance and cleanliness other than when a big media event comes to town (ex. Super Bowl)
 
subway

In all honesty, Coleman Young fucked the city out of that when the goverment was handing money out to the big cities back in the 70's...that really worked out for us:bs:

Yes, one does click before posting, but one also would have liked to have public transportation, which this post remided me of. I'll contact you before I post again, ok?:finger:

I actually had to do a report on the lack of public transportation in Detroit back in college. And the Big 3 had more to do with the reason Detroit has none. They wanted to sell cars back then so they lobbied against a subway in Detroit. GM Used to sell Busses and the city would get them cheap. So that is all they had. Fast Forward to now and there are a lot more people on the roads and mass transit would be benefiting us. Instead we are got all of the traffic. Yeah!

You ain't seen traffice till you've driven the I-495 I-275 Interchange in washington DC. Now thats some dammed traffic and FYI i would love to see someone drive thier car through the DC metro rail. That would be a badass shortcut to downtown.

Funny you mention that. I have been stuck in that on the way to visit the in-laws. We made the mistake of taking the major highways through there at rush hour. Sat for like 2 hours!!! Now we take some back roads to avoid 495.
