Public transportation in Michigan.

 Play It
Michigan has always worshipped the automobile. But some have long wondered whether perhaps we have worshipped it to our own detriment. They see it not just as an environmental question, but as a social and economic question involving growth and our future. States with good public transit integrated with highways systems seem to be more livable, and beacons for young professionals. So, why hasn’t Michigan been able to ride this bandwagon? Since tonight’s EMMY nominated program aired in 2004, there have been talks about a new rail link between Ann Arbor and Detroit. And, Grand Rapids has received development funds for a light rail system. So change is coming however slowly.
