Frustrated by recent cuts to the city's bus service, some Detroiters get mad and others get even -- with innovative solutions. An example of the latter was picked up recently by The Atlantic Cities. Here's an excerpt:

Earlier this year Andy Didorosi, a young entrepreneur and lifetime Detroiter, decided he'd heard enough. In January he bought three buses and began to organize the Detroit Bus Company — a private transit operation he hopes can pick up where the city's bus system has left off. The company is completing its regulatory papers now and expects to start service in late April.

"If people can't get anywhere, the city doesn't work," Didorosi says. "As Detroiters we're just frustrated as hell. This is my small effort to put something back together. Maybe we'll bring some innovation to the market and move forward as a city."
