New Ways to Get Around Detroit

I have noticed over the past few years, especially this past summer, that the Detroit Department of Transportation has done a complete overhaul of their logo, buses, one of them shown here, and routes, which includes the implementation of a program called ConnectTen, which are 10 of the busiest routes running 24 hours a day throughout the city. . This bus, traveling the new Gratiot ConnectTen route in downtown Detroit, is an example of the new buses,logo, and route number (Gratiot was route 34 before the change). If you are interested in DDOT/Detroit Department of Street Railways history, check out the Detroit Transit History Memories group on Facebook and the Detroit Transit History website, lots of useful information.
