Today is the 25th anniversary of the Detroit People Mover. The People Mover is the light rail system that covers downtown Detroit. It has thirteen stations, including the Renaissance Center, where this picture was taken. Service started on July 31, 1987 at Fifty cents a ride. Fares are now 75 cents a ride, and services residents, visitors and employees of downtown Detroit. The most people serviced was possibly 2006, when the Super Bowl was held at Ford Field that February, and the Tigers made a run to the World Series that fall. Many fans take the People Mover to Tigers, Lions and Red Wings games, and the many employees of downtown businesses can take it to work each day. One memory of the People Mover that I have is seeing a Family Reunion taking up both trains of the People Mover sometime between 2005 and 2008. I like seeing all the convention/meeting attendees riding the People Mover to their daily activities. If you've ridden the People Mover, what are your favorite Memories?
