So over the years there has been a lot of talk and about zero being done about mass transit in SE Michigan. SEMCOG keeps saying that it is feasible and has proposed a number of scenarios that could be combined. The idea of a AnnArbor – Detroit light rail is awesome. For $3 I could go from Ypsi to Ann Arbor and back. Thats less then what most people would pay for parking and gas.

We used to have one. In the 1890's the Ypsi-Ann interurban railway ran along South Road or the Electric Line Road, now known as Packard. The system was later connected to Milan, Jackson, and Detroit. After the 1920's it went bankrupt and the tracks were tore up.
