The light elevated transit system installed in Detroit is know as the People Mover. It is a system of cars that make a loop around the business district of downtown Detroit.
Here are a couple of links for more information.

The total time of one loop around (about 2.9 miles) is 12 to 15 minutes. The cost is a 50 cent token that can be purchased at any of the stations. The cars travel in groups of 2 and most of them are painted with advertising.
I took the trip (3 times around) and of course used my camera to record the event. The elevated view lets you see the buildings and street scenes from a different angle of view.
Here are a few of the shots taken this past week.

The shots were taken on a dull gray day through dirty glass on the car. Also note some of the photos have reflections.
Enjoy your mini tour of the streets of Detroit from the People Mover.
