The population of Detroit was about 1.5 million in 1973 and is about 620,000 now. The population of the metro area has been stagnant. The buses and street cars are modern, efficient, expensive (low fare, high subsidy), and little used.

I lived in Detroit during law school in the early 90s and took advantage of public transportation (remember the People Mover?) Buses were horrid though - never, ever on time. I hope it's much better now. No public transportation will take you from Detroit to Ann Arbor :-(
