Amtrak Wolverine

Pros: First time riding Amtrak in about 40 years I am 56 so I took the ride to Detroit to Deerborn to feel some type of mass transit and I’m taking my next trip to Royal oak from Detroit and then another trip to Pontiac from Detroit and other Amtrak stations around the area. Cons: I would love to see more round trips to have some type of mass transit in the city Detroit and I would love to see more people using the train also for mass transit. Tips: I haven’t took a long train ride yet, but I will say other people should try it out.
