The most remarkable price tag I've seen here in the US is the Ann Arbor - Detroit bus service that costs only 6$.

constantly asking people who haven't taken the train in years to give it another shot. it's a solidly reliable service and today's wolverine doesn't deserve the reputation it had a decade ago.

this is a bizarre way to run a city, i gotta say. people's transportation decisions are not going to hinge on anything one developer can do.

Necessary, but not nearly sufficient. Luckily
@michigandot.bsky.social
is doing a planning effort here! But if it’s anything like the one they did for Michigan Avenue, that process will take probably ten years and then get watered down because two or three businesses complained.
