The Detroit People Mover is a single track mass transit system that encircles Downtown Detroit. This 2.9 mile long circular track halts at 13 stations. The easy access of to DDOT and SMART bus routes, make this part of a vast, comprehensive network of transit.

The Detroit People Mover or DPM was opened to the public on 31st July 1987. Conceived by the Urban Mass Transport Administration in 1975, the people mover was originally planned as a metro-wide light transit system for Detroit. However, the inability to come to an agreement by local leaders led to a cut in the funding of the project. However, the project did go on and was taken over by the Detroit Transport Corporation in 1988 to operate and maintain the people mover.

The route includes some of Detroit’s noteworthy landmarks, including Greektown, The Renaissance Center, the Joe Louis Arena and Broadway.

Each station displays some of the most stunning artworks by various artists of Detroit. The artworks date back to 1987, completed along the same time the People Mover was opened.
