Cheap and easy to use. The trains are frequent but be warned, they don't run until 12 pm on Sundays. More

If you want to see downtown Detroit, the people mover is a great way to see and get to many downtown destinations. Just 75 cents per trip!

Riding the people mover is a good way to view the centre of Detroit. Unfortunately the PM is more of a toy than a transportation system; it does not go far enough. More

We rode the loop around twice. It was fun to see everything from the 2nd-story height. Too bad it doesn't go up to the Arts district, but it's a good ride. Detroit is smart to have it. More

If you are not looking for a taxi, the People Mover makes it easy to travel cheaply downtown. We had a good experience and it seemed safe. I would recommend going with someone as there seems to be a general consensus amongst the locals that safety comes in numbers. More

I think this was a great elevated car to take a quick tour of the city without getting into the mess. Take a little extra time and visit some of the stops along the way. (Remember - this is still Detroit so keep your eyes open travel in groups for safety) More

Not worth the ride as an "attraction" Save your money for something more interesting. If you are familiar with the L in Chicago, imagine that reduced 100 times. More
