There are no free rides — Michigan taxpayers will subsidize the QLine through 2039

There are no free rides — Michigan taxpayers will subsidize the QLine through 2039 - By James David Dickson
  • Republicans helped pass a subsidy for a train that has a fraction of the ridership it would need to sustain itself
  • Michigan taxpayers are on the hook for a $5M/year subsidy to the QLine through 2039...a commuter train traveling 3.3 miles of Woodward Avenue in Detroit, between downtown and Midtown.
  • As The Detroit News reported Friday:
  • Michigan taxpayers will chip in $85 million for the free rides on Detroit’s QLine street car over the next 17 years under legislation awaiting the governor’s signature.
