Everything would be perfect if it wasn't in Detroit to be honest. It is way too unsafe to take buses anywhere because you become an easy target for a mugging. Bike riders do have their own lanes, but they rarely use them not to mention not all drivers are that cautious. Driving is good on wider roads but there are many small streets and some people drive under the influence and cause them to commit hit and runs. Like I stated above everything would be smooth sailing if these things weren't in Detroit.
