I should mention that Little Saigon here has nothing to do with Vietnamese people, but the abundance of bullet holes in that neighborhood.
Pretty cool, quite ironic. That the capitol of makers of cars...wants everyone to ride the rails. Maybe they need to re tool and make locomotive engines.
“Six newly refurbished, bi-level commuter rail cars made their first test run from Pontiac to Jackson and back Tuesday night, passing through Ann Arbor.”
This new rail line could be great for transporting inmates from the OC jail to Jackson State Prison. Taxpayer dollars at work...
“Wasting my money on crap that nobody will use.”
C’mon. This could lead to a revival of Detroit. The thugs that have looted out Detroit now have access to a fresh bunch of wealthy and liberal (read anti-gun) communities to plunder.
I can just see the new rap tunes written about the opportunities offered: “Take the A2 Train.” “Case the Jones.” “Washtenaw Cannonball.”
“The Little Engine That Couldn’t”
Is it just me, or do they appear to be linking up all of the liberal hellholes with high-speed rail in order to get mobs of protesters to where they need them on short notice?
Transporting urban yoots from the slums of Detroit to Ann Arbor. AA deserves it.
""The People Mover was intended to be the downtown distributor for a proposed city and metro-wide light rail transit system for Detroit in the early 1980s. In fiscal year 1999-2000 the city was spending $3 for every $0.50 rider fare, according to The Detroit News. In 2006, the Mover filled less than 10 percent of its seats.""
I still remember how hard they pushed that on us, Coleman Young swearing up and down it was going to save the city. The cost overruns and graft from just that one little stretch made him a rich, rich man.
That’s what people want, people from Detroit visiting AnnArbor.
