Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detroit's Street Railways tells the story of public transportation in the Motor City. Dating back to 1863, when horse-drawn streetcars serviced the citizenry, public transportation in Detroit has a proud and colorful history. Early on, a host of streetcar companies carried Detroiters about their daily business. This period was followed by consolidation into one company, the Detroit United Railway, and later the establishment of the municipally owned Department of Street Railways. The Department of Street Railways, established May 15, 1922, inherited a vast system of streetcar lines throughout Detroit, the first city in the United States to establish municipally owned transit system. It was a leader and innovator in the transit industry, with continued streetcar service until April 8, 1956, when the last streetcars on Woodward Avenue were replaced by buses. When the Department of Street Railways began coach operations in 1925, the intent was to provide feeder service to the established streetcar lines, as expansion costs were prohibitive. Sadly, the program implemented to complement the city's streetcar operations led to the demise of the streetcar as the principal mode of transportation in the Motor City.

Book excerpt: Over the last one hundred years Detroit has risen to become one of the most populated cities in America with the help of the automobile industry and has since become a deteriorating city losing population constantly as the "Big Three" try to reestablish themselves. Since the first rejection of a subway system that occurred in the early 1920's and the abandonment of the surface trolley system in the 1950's the city has been struggling to implement an efficient way of travel throughout the city. Currently people only have three ways to get from point A to point B: by using human power, taking an untimely bus, or driving a car. The problem is that a good majority of the population in Detroit do not have their own means of transportation, and with the cutting of the current bus lines citizens have no way of traveling around this once great city. Fortunately, a plan is in place to begin the process of bringing mass transit back to the city of Detroit. The first stage is the M-1 rail, a light rail system that will begin at Hart Plaza and continue north 3.4 miles along Woodward Avenue to the New Center. Future additions of the line will eventually continue out to Pontiac. Future lines of an expanded transit system following Gratiot, Grand River, Warren and Jefferson Avenue are being considered as well as a possible commuter lines connecting the city of Detroit with the cities of Ann Arbor, Pontiac, Port Huron and Toledo. This development of transit is important to the resurrection of Detroit. There are some key factors that need to be considered when developing the stations along these lines, such as the user group of the stations, the needs of local residents, and above all security. In order to start this recovery the city will need to attract people back into Detroit, while also responding to key needs of its citizens. So the question is whether Detroit, which is in such a state of disarray, can afford for these transit stations to just be a basic shelter that only serves as part of the infrastructure system? In order for these stations to fulfill their potential value to the city, each station should become its own destination. By doing so, not only would the building fulfill the basic requirements for mass transit, getting people from point A to point B safely and effectively, but the major capital investment at each station could also be seen as an opportunity to create a network of destinations that respond carefully to the neighborhoods within which they are located. Each station will have a different context so integrating it into the neighborhood will be of great importance. In order for the stations to become successful destinations the sense of arrival must be present. If the rider does not feel that they have completed their journey the sensation that the station is also a destination will be lost. Each of these stations is responsible for facilitating the transfer of passengers from point A to point B safely and effectively, but the goal of each station is to encourage a second wave of development. In order to spark this second wave there is a need for these stations to respond to their immediate surroundings. The reason for this is to allow citizens to experience the city and the characteristics of its surroundings. This balance between the larger system and the local surroundings is of great importance because if either goal is unfulfilled the stations will not function as intended.
Book Synopsis Trains, Buses, People by : Christof Spieler
Download or read book Trains, Buses, People written by Christof Spieler and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the best transit cities in the US? The best Bus Rapid Transit lines? The most useless rail transit lines? The missed opportunities? In the US, the 25 largest metropolitan areas and many smaller cities have fixed guideway transit—rail or bus rapid transit. Nearly all of them are talking about expanding. Yet discussions about transit are still remarkably unsophisticated. To build good transit, the discussion needs to focus on what matters—quality of service (not the technology that delivers it), all kinds of transit riders, the role of buildings, streets and sidewalks, and, above all, getting transit in the right places. Christof Spieler has spent over a decade advocating for transit as a writer, community leader, urban planner, transit board member, and enthusiast. He strongly believes that just about anyone—regardless of training or experience—can identify what makes good transit with the right information. In the fun and accessible Trains, Buses, People: An Opinionated Atlas of US Transit, Spieler shows how cities can build successful transit. He profiles the 47 metropolitan areas in the US that have rail transit or BRT, using data, photos, and maps for easy comparison. The best and worst systems are ranked and Spieler offers analysis of how geography, politics, and history complicate transit planning. He shows how the unique circumstances of every city have resulted in very different transit systems. Using appealing visuals, Trains, Buses, People is intended for non-experts—it will help any citizen, professional, or policymaker with a vested interest evaluate a transit proposal and understand what makes transit effective. While the book is built on data, it has a strong point of view. Spieler takes an honest look at what makes good and bad transit and is not afraid to look at what went wrong. He explains broad concepts, but recognizes all of the technical, geographical, and political difficulties of building transit in the real world. In the end,Trains, Buses, People shows that it is possible with the right tools to build good transit.
