Greektown station is a Detroit People Mover station in downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is located on Beaubien Street at Monroe Street in the Greektown Historic District, for which it is named. The station's lobby is located inside Hollywood Casino at Greektown, connected to the platform structure by a short skybridge. Its exterior features a large neon sculpture designed by Stephen Antonakos.[1][2][3]
The station serves the casino property and the wider Greektown district, and is the nearest People Mover station to Second Baptist Church, the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, and the Wayne County Jail.[4] In 2014, it was the busiest station on the People Mover, tallying a ridership of 559,048 that year.[5]
From September 2011 to September 2012, the station was officially known as MetroPCS-Greektown, under a sponsorship deal with cellular carrier MetroPCS.[6]
