The Detroit People Mover
...an Icon in Detroit

Cobo Hall ... a brief introduction


The Detroit People Mover opened in 1987 and runs on an automated system. The DPM consists of a single-track in a one-way loop through the downtown area. It runs for 2.9 miles using Bombardier Advanced Rapid Transit technologies in unmanned cars. The DPM is the only local rail system in Detroit, but is one of twenty nine in the USA. Some say this is due to Detroit’s close ties with the auto industry.
