QLINE Surpasses 1 Million Riders in 2024

The QLINE reached the one million riders milestone over the weekend, surpassing its 2023 total ridership. Bolstered by more regular riders, improved service, and the record-breaking three-day NFL Draft, ridership on the QLINE continues to grow. Transitioned under the management of the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan in October, the QLINE is poised to build upon its success.

“Thank you to our riders and staff for making 2024 the QLINE’s best year yet,” said RTA Executive Director Ben Stupka. “The QLINE continues to demonstrate the positive impact our communities experience when we invest in transit. With the holiday season upon us, there’s never been a better time to hop on board the QLINE and experience all that Greater Downtown has to offer.”

Riders are enjoying newly installed art at the QLINE’s twelve stations, with a colorful campaign to welcome riders and promote experiences along the QLINE’s route. Designed by Zoyes Creative and made possible by a grant from the Rocket Community Fund, the station art campaign features seven original design concepts with the tagline, “Every Stop is a Start”. The Dots represent the variety of destinations to explore along the Woodward corridor, reflecting the fun and joy that the QLINE offers its passengers.
