The city of Detroit has a downtown circulator called the People Mover, however, it is not technically a light rail line. In operates with linear induction motors, and experimental technology of the 1980s that has found success in Vancouver, BC and recently at the New York City JFK airport. The people mover operates on elevated track in a one-way loop around the downtown area, with a total length of 2.8 miles. The city of Detroit is currently studying a light rail system that would operate on 3 major roads that radiate from the city's downtown, Woodward, Gratiot and Michigan Avenue.
