Hop on Detroit's QLINE for free this summer.
The Kresge Foundation has announced it is covering fares for all riders starting July 1 through Labor Day.
“The QLINE holds much promise as an integral piece of a true regional transit system and we are invested in its long-term success,” said Kresge President & CEO Rip Rapson, in a statement. “With dozens of summer festivals and activities up and down the Woodward Corridor, our motivation to extend free fares is to expose every city and metro resident to the QLINE. Building a sustainable ridership will enable the streetcar to continue to serve as a positive demonstration project for regional transit.”
According to M-1 Rail officials, the QLINE has served more than 100,000 riders in its first month after opening to the public on May 12.
