Definitely concerning for Detroit's case. I don't think it applies here, even if the motivations are similar (development vs transport), because ION goes along the already existing highest density corridor of the Region and there is a solid plan to continue to improve the regional bus network. Even as it is, our bus network is quite good. I see ION as an evolution of an already existing high usage transit corridor.
