Times Square station is a Detroit People Mover station in downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is located on Grand River Avenue between Cass Avenue and Washington Boulevard, adjacent to the Rosa Parks Transit Center, the main downtown hub of the Detroit Department of Transportation bus network. The station takes its name from nearby Times Square, which in turn, took the name from the defunct Detroit Times newspaper formerly headquartered there.
Times Square is the nearest People Mover station to Book Tower, DTE Energy Headquarters, and MGM Grand Detroit, and[2] the People Mover's garage and maintenance facilities are attached to the station. It is the only People Mover station with two tracks, one on the main loop and another leading into the garage, which flank the station's island platform.
