We always called it the "person mover", based on the typical number of
passengers. (The exceptions being of course, when there used to be
Redwing games, and the Autoshow)
Linda and I used it for several months as daily commuter transport a
few years ago though, and it's a unique way to get a feel for the
architecture of the city.

Re: (313) Abdul Haqq Prints
FYI it's not a monorail, it's the people mover, a train that circles
detroit. It costs under $1 to ride. Its kinda a joke really. typical
detroit. http://www.thepeoplemover.com/
It is sad the city has no high-tech public transportation.

My Abdul Haqq print that I ordered arrived this morning.
I got it from RubADub (thanks for ordering them in guys - I really
appreciate it).
I know art is a subjective thing of course, and not everyone likes mr
haqq's work, but I just wanted to say how pleased I am with it.
It's beautifully produced and mounted, it's even signed and hand
numbered
too. And for £40 I think it's a total bargain, a nice piece of techno
memorabilia. I got the one of the detroit buildings and the monorail -
like
on the cover of the infonet 313 comp. It's gonna look nice in my
record
room,
I don't know if they're all sold out, but, well, I gotta say, you
gotta
grab one!
