Starting today,
fares on the Detroit People Mover will increase to 75 cents from 50 cents per person.
The discounted fare for seniors is now 35 cents. Prices for both the monthly and annual DPM passes are unaffected, at $10 for a monthly and $100 for an annual, respectively. Senior residents will now pay $10 for a 2012 pass; in prior years, there was no charge.
Cash reserves to support the monorail are so low, officials have warned there is only enough money to operate the system through December. The tram is vital to connecting downtown sports, entertainment, hotel, business and parking facilities.
