ART, HISTORY, AND ODDITIES OF THE DETROIT PEOPLE MOVER, 17 April | Event in Detroit | AllEvents.in About the event ART, HISTORY, AND ODDITIES OF THE DETROIT PEOPLE MOVER
The Detroit People Mover is our much-maligned conversation piece of an incomplete public transit system in downtown Detroit. Providing 2,413,414 rides in 2015 (and 268,900 in 2020), it hides secrets, fantastic art, heritage sites, and even a three hundred-year-old artifact throughout its 2.9-mile loop. The People Mover is a driverless, fully-automated, rapid transit line that travels a one-way loop through the heart of the City. The total round trip time is only 14 minutes- so let's be honest- you’re not traveling that far but the amount you’ll learn will leave you shocked, awed, and happily proclaiming “all hail the DPM”. On this hour and a half tour, you’ll see millions of dollars of artwork that was included in the 13 stations after one woman's successful quest to save Detroit from cookie cutter identical stations. You'll learn why the train originally ran clockwise, see the man who has spent the last three decades reading the exact same paper, and finally, understand why Detroit has its very own Times Square. We hope you'll come along and leave with a whole new appreciation for the historic Detroit People Mover.
