We boarded the train at Renaissance Center Station since we were staying at the Marriott Renaissance Center. It was easy enough to follow the signs to the People Mover and there it is! The station was clean of trash other than the slight smell of urine. Expected in a big city but still, disappointing. Both our morning and afternoon commute were uneventful and there was pretty low ridership. Of course, the remaining General Motors offices are in the Renaissance Center and the Marriott Hotel. Access to the Riverwalk, Mariner's Church and Hart Plaza are here. The People Mover is a simple loop with a baker's dozen of stations. It runs in one direction, counter-clockwise. A smooth ride with quick stops. Super easy! [Review 713 of 2025 - 418 in Michigan - 24273 overall]

Cadillac Center Station was closest to our office so I was here at least twice, in and out. The…read morestation was opened in 1987 and was named after the Cadillac Center shopping center that was proposed but never built. It is handicapped accessible with an elevator. It's a beautiful station with a number of artworks. Check out the mandmade mosaic which has some 26000 tiles that were originally fired in the 1930s for the never-built Stroh Brewery facility. The station is close to Campus Martius Park and Skillman Branch of the Detroit Public Library. You're also one block from the Campus Martius QLine station if you were thinking to transfer. Cadillac Center is between Greektown and Broadway. Oh, and it's free! [Review 714 of 2025 - 419 in Michigan - 24274 overall]

It was also closest to my hotel and the DAX Bus to Detroit's international airport. The station is at the intersection of Michigan and Cass and is an elevated station.

The People Mover is fare free at this time thanks to sponsorship by Priority Waste. [Review 976 of 2025 - 456 in Michigan - 24530 overall]

The station is the next stop after Cadillac Center and before Gand Circus Park. Architecturally modest but culturally rich, the station features a vibrant mural titled The Blue Nile by Charles McGee. It is the People Mover's only true painting and presents McGee's Noah's Ark theme executed in an African style. This piece, painted on alucabond panels using industrial enamel, depicts abstract figures and animals, symbolizing equality among all living beings. The station sits at the edge of Paradise Valley, a historic district once central to Detroit's Black cultural life, and today it connects visitors to a growing arts and dining scene. As with all People Mover Stations, it is handicapped accessible with an elevator and an escalator as well as stairs. [Review 964 of 2025 - 446 in Michigan - 24518 overall]

Like other stations on the People Mover, Grand Circus Park is handicapped accessible with an…read moreelevator and an escalator and stairs. The platform is smooth and it is step-free to get onto the train. It is of course near Grand Circus Park but is also a transfer to the Grand Circus Park QLine nearby. The Fillmore Theater and the Fox Theatre are nearby as is the Little Caesars Arena. If you're paying attention, you might notice the sculpture on the platform. Catching Up is by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. It is a life-size bronze sculpture of a commuter reading a newspaper - a combination of the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News. He looks surprisingly real. Grand Circus Park is next after Broadway and the following station is Times Square. At this time, there is no fare to ride the People Mover. [Review 974 of 2025 - 455 in Michigan - 24528 overall]

It is…read morehandicapped accessible with an elevator and escalator though my encounters, the escalator was only going up. The proximity to the city's main bus hub makes it a natural gathering point--not just for commuters transferring to the People Mover, but also for those seeking shelter, rest, or a moment of pause in the urban bustle. While the station itself is utilitarian in design, its role as a spillover space from the Rosa Parks Transit Center gives it a lived-in quality. It's not glamorous, but it's undeniably part of Detroit's transit heartbeat. [Review 989 of 2025 - 468 in Michigan - 24543 overall] [NOTE: I have asked Yelp TWICE to move this to downtown Detroit.

The Times Square Station People Mover Station in Detroit is conveniently located directly across…read morefrom the Rosa Parks Transit Center.  The station is rather small but serviceable.  The People Mover is an automated system that is composed of two interconnected cars that run on a monorail.  The People Mover covers a good bit of central Detroit.  It is limited in scope and use by its present construction layout.  There doesn't seem to be any intent or plan to expand it even though the area needs more transit like this. The place is kept generally clean.  There are many transients in the area.  I haven't seen any in here but I don't make the place a regular stop yet.  Very few others seem to do so.  I do not see many people waiting for the train on the platform and the cars themselves are sparsely populated.  The problem with the system is its limitations.  If you have driven down to Detroit for some reason it is usually one or two places in which case parking the car and walking is probably preferred to finding the nearest People Mover station and figuring out where the nearest stop is to where you are going.  By that time you've already driven to the city and parked anyway.  Eventually it will all get out.  Right now 75 cents get you one of the best tourist attractions around.  Take the kids or family and friends.  You get to see most of the city from the inside out! Back to the transients, however, there is drug activity still in the area.  There are lots of corners in this station and any mirrors or reflective surfaces provided are limited in use.  Be aware.

I was trying to get out without hitting the huge trailer they had blocking the other way out so. When I went to tell the guy it would have been nice of him to be more considerate of where they pulled in, he got defensive and started to state that I ran into him. There were several trucks and at least 2 with trailers all around this one pump. Now, I wasn't asking for insurance info or even blaming him for my judgement of how close I was, just that he should be more considerate of where they were and making sure they did not block people parking. He rude and obnoxious and told me it was my fault that I ran into HIS trailer. I then raised my voice again and stated that I would not have hit the trailer if it was either pulled forward a little more or not blocking the way out. IF this is how you allow your employees to treat people, and just be polite enough to say that they would be more careful, then you need to send them for customer service training. The others guys just were laughing, I don't know if they were laughing at him or me, but I did not appreciate it. Too bad that you seem to have some nice comments, but consideration to where the vehicles are parked and not at least apologizing for not looking for another pump or helping me to get out of the parking spot without hitting them, would have shown a respect. Again, I am not asking for any insurance money to fix my vehicle, it is not that bad, but your employees need to learn some common respect without getting all defensive and rude. Young and cocky I don't do as I was brought up better than that, and this young man just thought he was in the right, even when I told him that I just wanted to let him know that it would have been better for him not to block someone in. Cars would not get damaged. I take responsibility for hitting the 1 ton trailer, but your employee needs to take responsibility of bad judgement of where he parked to get gas. There were three other pumps that all have diesel on them and farther away from the parking by the corner where it is too close to have those kind of vehicles with trailers attached.

It is a fully automated monorail and the trains run in a single direction. It takes around 15 minutes to do a single loop which isn't bad even if you have to go all the way around when your stop is only four stations in the other direction. Stations feature unique art installations and they are above ground. I did not see any security guards but they do have cameras everywhere. Just watch your surroundings and you should be fine.
