The Detroit People Mover is a 2.9 mile driverless, fully automated light rail rapid transit system operating in a single-track, one-way loop through downtown Detroit, Michigan, United States. A siding allows the system to be used in a two-way by-pass manner when part of the circular track is closed. The system, opened in 1987, uses the same technology as the Vancouver SkyTrain and Toronto's Scarborough RT. The system has 12 cars and 13 stations (8 of which are built into pre-existing buildings). The train crosses through the Cobo Hall exhibit space allowing views of the conventions and exhibits like the North American International Auto Show below the train.
