The future of rail and buses to and from other cities and Detroit may be here.
Detroit's new multi-modal transit hub plans to include Amtrak service, with an expanded Wolverine Line connecting to Windsor and Toronto; as well as consolidate both the Amtrak station in Detroit's New Center and the intercity bus terminal on Howard in Detroit.
$40 million has been allocated for the project, and site evaluation and design work is beginning. Beth Kmetz from Michigan Central joins us for a segment of the Daily Detroit podcast, sharing all the details that are set so far from this important announcement from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at the Downtown Detroit Partnership Fall Forum.
You'll also learn why the new station is going next to the historic and redeveloped Michigan Central vs. right into the old hub.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
