GETTING THERE/AROUND IN DETROIT
GETTING THERE
By Air
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne county Airport ( DTW ). Detroit Metro Airport made aviation history on December 11, 2001, when it became the only major airport in the country in 2001 or 2002 to open a new jet runway. With six runways - four of them parallel - Metro Airport ranks among the top airports in the world.
The SMART bus stop is located closer to the terminals, eliminating the need for a terminal shuttle for riders.

GETTING AROUND DETROIT
They don't call Detroit the Motor City for nothing. There's little in the way of public transportation. The elevated People Mover train loops around downtown, and buses fan out across the city, but unless you remain downtown, it's best to rent a car.
