What to know about Detroit's future train and bus station

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.
