Detroit’s new Woodward Avenue streetcar service, the Qline, should begin running in the spring barring any glitches. No doubt the novelty of it will attract lots of riders; everyone will try it once. But when the novelty settles into routine, how many people will ride the Qline?
The answer matters a lot. A robust and growing ridership will enhance the financial health of the M-1 Rail service that will operate the Qline. That could ease fears that the Qline will need at some future point to go begging for more money from somewhere, perhaps the state.
