Detroit People Mover Offers Easy Transfer, Free Tokens for New Riders at the
Rosa Parks Transit Center

DETROIT, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the new DDOT Rosa Parks Transit
Center (RPTC) and its closeness to two Detroit People Mover stations, the
Detroit Transportation Corporation (DTC) will offer a free token to the first
5,000 patrons who transfer from RPTC to the People Mover.

Representatives from the People Mover will be on hand at RPTC to answer
questions and provide information during the grand opening on Tuesday, July
14, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Transfer points from the RPTC to the People Mover
are steps away at both Michigan and Times Square stations. Free tokens may be
obtained only at the Transit Center, while supplies last.

"The Detroit Transportation Corporation is pleased that the Rosa Parks Transit
Center has opened," said Barbara Hansen, DTC General Manager. "The center
provides a respite for our transit riders, enhances our ability to coordinate
transportation services to the residents of southeastern Michigan, and it is
one more step in realizing a comprehensive regional transit system."

Also, to encourage patrons to further explore downtown on the People Mover,
the system will offer a special promotion for its monthly pass at $10, a 50
percent discount off the regular price of $20. Great for commuting, attending
events on riverfront or Campus Martius, and frequenting other downtown
hotspots, the pass provides unlimited rides on the People Mover. The pass will
be available at the RPTC, online at www.thepeoplemover.com/shop or at the DPM
downtown sales office at 1420 Washington Boulevard, Third Floor, during normal
business hours.

People Mover fare is 50 cents each way, and children ages five and under ride
free. Stations are well-lit and vehicles are climate-controlled. Trains also
feature special wheelchair and priority disabled seating areas. Handicapped
access is currently available at all stations except Grand Circus Park, which
has stairway access only. Passengers needing an elevator or escalator closest
to Grand Circus should board at either the Broadway or Times Square Stations.
For more information, call 313-224-2160.
