    Default Detroit Bus Company

    I went to high school with this guy. We would always go out and explore the abandoned buildings and shit. Glad to see he's making something of himself and helping our city out.

    Started by Andy Didorosi, the new bus company is targeting high-demand routes, including entertainment spots, and is intended to supplement Detroit's public service, which recently underwent cutbacks to several routes and nighttime service.

    On Saturday the first bus took a circular route, starting downtown and making stops in the neighborhoods of Corktown, Southwest, Woodbridge, New Center and Midtown before ending at Comerica Park. The bus exterior featured the work of Detroit graffiti artist Kobie Solomon.

    "I've always had the desire to explore Detroit," said Michigan State student Brandon Earnest, who rode the bus with several friends from Woodbridge to Mexicantown. Though he has friends in the city, Earnest doesn't know it well and thought the bus was a good way to see new spots.

    It wouldn't be the first time. He's done something similar with Paper Street Motors.

    this sounds cool...
    On each route, a bus conductor (separate from the driver) will update a Twitter feed with a note about the location of the bus.

    it's only a matter of time before his business suffers from over regulation due to political interference.

    If he's been in Detroit long I'm sure he already knows which councilmember he needs to pay off to stay in business.....
