This is weird, but I guess it's good to be thinking big?

Duggan: Underground railway tunnel way of future for Detroit Metro

By Breanna Noble, The Detroit News

June 12, 2018

Detroit — Mayor Mike Duggan said Tuesday that connecting the Detroit Metropolitan Airport to a railway could happen in the future ... if it's underground.

Duggan said at the Downtown Detroit Partnership summer stakeholder meeting that airplane runways make such a link unfeasible above ground. Connecting to the airport underground, however, might be possible in light of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's work in building underground transportation tunnels in Los Angeles

"As soon as I hear from the mayor of Los Angeles that this thing really works, then we're going to be pursuing it," Duggan said during a conversation with DPP CEO Eric Larson on stage at the Gem and Century Theatre.
I'd be happy with just a conventional line and an underground station or two in the vicinity of the airport, really.
