		In the preface, former Detroit Institute of Arts Director Samuel Sachs II declares that "the People Mover stations contain a model for the nation of what a public art project can and should be." Aesthetically, Detroit would appear to stack up pretty well compared to other American metropolises.
		But what these cities have that Detroit doesn't is functional mass transit and the sense of community that comes with the daily interaction of large, diverse groups of people.
		Arguably most ironic is Kozloff’s "‘D’ is for Detroit." It uses the bear and the bull as symbols of the Detroit Stock Exchange that once stood on the site of the People Mover Financial District station.

		People movers, especially multi-station systems intended for mass transit in a city, are more formally known as automated guideway transit (AGT) systems.
		This term is generally limited to rubber-tyred vehicles led by a guiding track; fully automated heavy rail lines, such as the Singapore MRT's North-East Line, are usually not considered AGTs.
		Lille's VAL is, however, acknowledged to be the first AGT installed to serve an existing urban area.

	DETROIT [5] The People Mover - UrbanPlanet.org
		It is quite unfortunate that Detroit hasn't got a real mass transit system besides the 3 mile people mover loop around downtown.
		The mayor of Detroit at the time, Coleman Young, salvaged some of the money and used it to build the central hub of the system - the loop around downtown - in hopes that eventually the rest of the system would be completed.
		However, it is used to capacity during the International Auto Show in January, and during sporting events downtown, because it allows people to park in one area and then take a cheap ride to their final destination.
