Metro Detroit's transit dramatics continue in Auburn Hills (ft. David Gifford)

Show notes

The city council of Auburn Hills recently voted to leave SMART, the suburban bus system, to create their own, far more limited service. That may or may not actually come to pass, but it’s a good time to check in on the state of transit as we’re ramping up to an election that’s important for SMART and the discussion about transit heats up again as the pandemic recedes.

To unpack everything and give context, David Gifford. He’s a transit advocate and runs Transit Guide Detroit.
