Detroit People Mover returns to service after nearly 2 months of repairs

DETROIT – The Detroit People Mover has reopened after nearly two months for repairs.

The People Mover closed in mid-March after high winds caused damage to the railway system. Carts had been out for tests for over two weeks.

It reopened at 6:30 a.m. on May 6.

“Rider safety is always at the heart of what we do, and it is our responsibility as a public transit provider,” said Melia Howard, DTC Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the Detroit People Mover. “The time was a necessary requirement to restore key, operational components and is an investment in the continued reliability of the system. We take pride in the role that the People Mover plays for residents, workers and visitors, and we look forward to being the go-to public transportation for both daily rides and special events which bring everyone together.”

Here are the operating hours for the Detroit People Mover:

• Monday-Friday: 6:30 a.m. to 12 a.m.
• Saturday: 10 a.m. to 12 a.m.
• Sunday: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

All rides are free.
