The QLINE is a streetcar system in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Opened in 2017, it connects Downtown Detroit with Midtown and New Center, running along Woodward Avenue for its entire route. It is supplemented by the Detroit People Mover, which serves as a circulator route in downtown Detroit, and also connects to the DDOT and SMART bus routes as part of a comprehensive network of transportation in metropolitan Detroit.
Uniquely among U.S. rail transit systems, the QLINE was developed and constructed by a public–private partnership, and initially owned by a private nonprofit organization, known as M-1 Rail. Since 2024, the system has been owned and operated by the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan.
