There was a time no so long ago where the commuting options in Detroit were pretty basic; car, bus, walking.
In the past year or so, things have changed quite a bit, notes Chad Livengood of Crian's Detroit Business:
A year ago, there were no scooters.
There weren't any semi-autonomous shuttles ferrying Quicken Loans employees to a parking garage in Greektown.
Google's Waze carpooling service wasn't operating in metro Detroit.
Ford Motor Co.'s Chariot Transit Inc. wasn't shuttling Quicken employees to work in 14-passenger transport vans from suburban locales.
SMART's FAST bus service wasn't running up and down Woodward, Gratiot and Michigan avenues.
And the QLine streetcar on Woodward Avenue and Mogo Detroit bike share were just six months into operation. The way people can get to work and move around downtown Detroit has rapidly changed in a matter of 12 months.
