| Transportation |
| Because of its gateway between the United States
and Canada and its major industrial status — along with
its major highways, rail connections and international airport
— Detroit has been an important transportation hub. |
| Airports |
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County International Airport
(DTW), the Detroit area's principal airport is located in
nearby Romulus, Michigan and is a hub for Northwest Airlines
and Spirit Airlines.
- Coleman A. Young International Airport (DET), no current
commercial passenger service, also formerly known as Detroit
City Airport
- Willow Run Airport (YIP)
|
| Highways |
| Detroit is the crossroads for six major Interstate
Highways, including I-75, I-94, I-96, I-696, I-275, and I-375.
Also the city has two international border crossings, the Ambassador
Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, both linking Detroit
to Windsor, Ontario on the Canadian side by crossing the Detroit
River. |
| Transit |
| Transit services in the City of Detroit are provided
by the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT), they provide
an extensive, if not erratic, bus service throughout the city
and very near suburbs. Service in the suburbs is provided by
Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART).
In recent years the Southeast Michigan Transportation Authority
has been established with the goal of expanding and integrating
the transit systems located in the Detroit Metro area. |
| Detroit also has a light rail system known as
the People Mover, providing a 2.9 mile loop in the downtown
area. Although it has faced massive criticism for its lack of
punctual service and high cost, the People Mover continues to
operate daily. |
