- Proposed DetRail regional rail service based on existing rail corridors to minimize cost, frequency of ~15 minutes - Proposed Detro metro rail service based on existing major road corridors for majority cut-and-cover/elevated rail, frequency of ~5 minutes - Proposed Motor City Transit light rail/bus rapid transit service based on interconnecting DetRail and Detro routes for redundancy and ridership, frequency of ~10 minutes - All lines kept to ~60 minute runtimes end to end for appropriate lengths/efficient transfers - Long-term proposal, likely only possible over decades in phases with correlating changes to city planning, pedestrian and bike infrastructure, and more. One notable limitation is the assumption that no changes will be made to the intracity freeways or interstates beyond what's required for prescribed transit.
