 PEOPLE MOVER

The Detroit People Mover is a one-direction elevated ring line in downtown Detroit. It is similar to the downtown metromover in Miami and opened on 31 July 1987. One round trip takes 15 minutes (4.7 km - 13 stations) and trains run every 2-3 minutes. Stations are fully accessible to the handicapped and include artistic elements. Several stations are integrated into buildings. The people mover is operated by Detroit Transportation Corporation and was switched to counterclockwise operation on 1 March 2020.
