The Capital District Transportation Authority is a public benefit corporation created by New York State, overseeing a number of multi-modal parts of public transportation in the Capital District of New York State.
Detroit Doesn't have mass transit it has the people mover which is a half baked elevated automated line. "The Detroit People Mover is a 2.94-mile (4.73 km) automated people mover system which operates on a single track, and encircles Downtown"
Has the Detroit people mover on it can't find the photo of my token DPM.
"The first streetcar line in Detroit since the last remnants of ... It's the $140 million M-1 Rail project, a 3.3-mile light rail " another goes no where and seems they are taking forever to build it. It will connect from the people mover to the area of the train station. Both of which are not High traffic modes of transport.
A more common one is the tunnel fare token, to Windsor.
The rest are correct.

If you become interested in Transportation Tokens for collecting, there is a very good book out on the subject.

You can buy a copy of Atwood's third edition on ebay for about $15.00.

Excellent information & useful resources; thank you. It is not an area I actively collect in. These were part of the coins I had inherited 10+ years ago; I'm just now getting around to looking @ the tokens and world coins in better detail. I've got a whole box of tokens; I picked out the ones such as these that were more likely to be interesting. There was a bunch of Cracker Jack & Shell president tokens, some tax tokens, Daisy Rifle tokens, a fake CSA half dollar design thing, car wash tokens, a military NCOOM 50 cent token from Ft. Hood, a few riverboat "quarters", etc.
