Detroit busses DDOT

Duggan painted Detroit as a work in progress that’s made big strides since it exited bankruptcy 10 years ago.

The city re-opened its contract with the transit union representing drivers to add the pay increase. Drivers will start making another $6,000 a year.

A report released this week by the group Transportation Riders United notes that Detroit area bus service was lackluster before COVID. But now transit agencies are struggling to bring service up to even pre-pandemic levels, creating genuine hardship for the people who depend on them.

Detroit disability advocates are cheering the Detroit City Council’s decision to reject a paratransit services contract. But they’re concerned and angry that the city now plans to cut paratransit service by 70%.

The Council first voted 5-3 to approve the contract with Transdev Services. Then, Council Member Gabriela Santiago Romero retracted her yes vote, leading to a 4-4 tie and the contract ultimately failing.
