Yet they want to build a 110 mile BRT. Where are the buses going to come from? Where are the extra staff going to come from? How are they going to maintain the buses they have now? What about the buses that have broken down? How are they going to pay for it? How are they going to maintain the system? How about the streetcar idea which has been brought back but made smaller? How are they going to take care of that streetcar?

There has to be an answer or else it's just laughable.

You know what would work for Detroit? A Taxi system. At least it would give people jobs, and people could travel in and out.
