The Detroit People Mover (DPM) is a fully automated light rail
system that operates on an elevated single track loop in Detroit's
central business district. Service is frequent, unencumbered by vehicle
or pedestrian traffic, and conveniently available throughout the
central business district. The integration of eight of the thirteen
People Mover stations into pre-existing structures links over 9 million
square feet that can be traversed unimpeded by outside elements.
Normal weekday operating hours are 6:30 am to midnight, with an
extension to 2 am on Friday. Weekend hours are 9 am to 2 am on Saturday
and 12 noon to midnight on Sunday. Round trip on the system is
approximately 15 minutes and wait time between trains average from 3 to
4 minutes. Average stop at each station is 20 seconds.
People Mover fare is $.50 one way and can be paid by U.S. coins
(nickels, dimes, quarters), People Mover tokens (available for purchase
at stations) and by monthly, semi-annual, annual and special event
passes. All stations are equipped with automatic turnstiles and
disability accessible gates.
