CuriosiD

Listen Later

WDET listener Jennifer Kulczycki had heard for years that Detroit doesn't have a robust transit system because the city's Big Three automakers undermined the streetcar and bus systems in order to sell more vehicles. But she couldn't prove whether or not this claim was true.

In this episode of CuriosiD, Quinn Klinefelter takes to the streets to uncover the true relationship between Detroit automakers and public transit.
