This morning, before ANYBODY ELSE the KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS direct our attention to the upcoming KANSAS CITY TOY TRAIN RULES AND REGS FOR RIDERS that include more than a few interesting items...
To wit . . .
CHECK THE KANSAS CITY TOY TRAIN STREETCAR CODE OF CONDUCT SOON TO BE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL THIS WEEK!!!
Check it:
Ordinance #140433 adds rules for riders to the muni-code for the toy train and streetcar stops.
Interesting times of note . . .
NO SMOKING OR E-CIGS ON THE KANSAS CITY TOY TRAIN!!!
Standard stuff to be sure but shows us that transit enthusiasts are exceptionally uptight . . .
Here are the main points:
It shall be unlawful for any person, while in or upon any motor bus or streetcar while the bus or streetcar is operated in common carrier passenger service upon the streets or public ways of the city, to:
(1) Engage in smoking, as defined in Section 34-472 of this Code, or to use any device which simulates smoking such as an electronic cigarette, cigar or pipe, personal vaporizer or electronic nicotine delivery system;
(2) Consume food or drink;
(3) Spit or expectorate upon the floor, steps or sides of the motor bus or streetcar;
(4) Discard litter;
(5) Play any radio, portable music device or player or other such instrument, except where the instrument is connected to an earphone that limits the sound to the individual user;
(6) Carry any flammable liquids, explosives, acids or other dangerous articles, live animals, birds or reptiles, except for guide, hearing or service dogs, as permitted under RSMo 209.150(4), and small animals properly confined; or
(7) Refuse or fail to pay the established fare.
Lots of verbiage for #7 even if we we were told the toy train was gonna be free . . . Don't expect that to last long . . .
Tragic reg for Downtown Entrepreneurs . . .
NO SELLING OR BEGGING ON THE KANSAS CITY TOY TRAIN STREETCAR!!!
Sec. 50-158. Soliciting passengers, freight or baggage.
And then . . . To keep traffic moving . . .
Sec. 50-161. Loitering - (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to loiter, loaf, wander, stand or remain idle either alone or in concert with others in a public place in such manner so as to . . .
Even worse . . .
CITY COUNCIL IS ALREADY PLANNING AND PREPPING FOR VIOLENCE ABOARD THE KANSAS CITY DOWNTOWN TOY TRAIN!!!
Check this extensive code of conduct for miscreants within the loop . . .
Sec. 50-164. Disorderly conduct.
Any person who, with intent to provoke a breach of the peace or whereby a breach of the peace may be occasioned, commits any of the following acts shall be deemed to have committed the offense of disorderly conduct:
(1) Uses offensive, disorderly, threatening, abusive or insulting language, conduct or behavior.
(2) Acts in such a manner as to annoy, disturb, interfere with, obstruct or be offensive to others or to any lawful assemblage.
(3) Shouts or makes a noise either outside or inside a building during the nighttime to the annoyance or disturbance of any considerable number of persons.
(4) Causes a disturbance in any railroad car, streetcar, omnibus or other public conveyance by running through it, climbing through windows or upon the seats, or otherwise annoying passengers or employees therein.
(5) Wanders, prowls or loiters upon the private property of another and peeks or peers in the door or window of any building or structure located thereon, without any visible or lawful business with the owners or occupants thereof.
Now, most of these rules already apply to the bus BUT we're told that the toy train streetcar is going to be JUST A TAD MORE STRICT on offenders given the big investment that has put this project above all other local priorities and now expects residents to be on their best behavior.
Developing . . .
No shirt and shoes rules might also be helpful given this town's casual dress obsession.
ReplyDeleteA code of conduct for niggers? You have got to be kidding!!
ReplyDeleteNot something that would concern a NORMAL CITIZEN with exception to the FARE section.
ReplyDeleteThought the Toy Train was free. Yeah right. Like the Bear stated....1 Billion Dollars is not going to be free.
If you thought it was going to be free you ALSO believe that boy that got arrested this weekend at Lake of Ozarks, was handcuffed by Missouri Highway Patrol JUMPED OVERBOARD while handcuffed. Yeah right. More like a little push. Not even a Westport douche bag gets that drunk.......
"(3) Spit or expectorate upon the floor, steps or sides of the motor bus or streetcar;"
ReplyDeleteYou mean Mensa boy's not going to make sure these 19th Century relics have spittoons?
4:29: It should be OK to go shirtless if you have a great body. Not wearing shoes on a streetcar is asking for injury.
ReplyDeleteNo chewing organic kale or sipping soy latte's on the streetcar?
ReplyDeleteThere goes the hipster ridership!
Tony can never ride this thing because it mentions no laofing
ReplyDeleteEvery public conveyance in the United States has the very same rules. Ditto for most people's personal cars. If there's a point here, I'm not seeing it.
ReplyDeleteThe real question is: What kind of security will the city provide? Armed guards on every train? Or just thug cams?
A meaningful story might be to report on the crime and vandalism situation now aboard city buses, and how effective the bus security setup is. That is a fair predictor of what's gonna happen on the baby choo choo.
Sounds racist to me.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the code of conduct for streetcar promoters?
ReplyDeleteThis is travesty!
ReplyDeleteHow come I want asked to vote on these rules!
I am a white man, damn it!
I live in Poverland Oark and I have an internet connection and an iPhone! So clearly I know a few things about public transportation.
My opinion is more important than other opinions, even though I am in the minority and don't even live in KC much less ride public transportation!
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, it's not at all about "white supremacy", but rather, it's about "black inferiority".... And yes, niggers are inferior to the human race.
ReplyDeleteSHOCK!!! EVEN THE MOST INNOCENT AX GRINDING POST TURNS INTO A CHIMPOUT THREAD!!!
ReplyDeleteLMAO...code of conduct, on a free public transportation system, with no employees to enforce anything. They are fools!
ReplyDeletehahahahahahaha!!!! dis nigger dont be doin any of dat shit! nigger do wha he want and fuck you ifin yo ass dont lik it!!! i smok wd drink ma drank an bust up ma ho if she be aktin up! whit crackas be on notic dey loot be my loot if i need sum loot.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mensa boy checks in (incoherently as usual) at 7:06.
ReplyDeleteThe code of conduct is hipster speak for the streetcar is reserved for whites.
ReplyDeleteLots of angry people here who need help.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who lives in Overland Park would not give a shit about the streetcar. Are you sure he passed the Mensa test?
ReplyDeleteSo while on the trOllY you can fart and shit your pants, but you can not drink your morning coffee? Fuck that!
ReplyDeleteThat was probably the Densa test.
ReplyDeleteA racist inbred make believe bear who refers to himself in the 3rd person.
ReplyDeleteAssorted other racists who type the word nigger in every sentence, on a constant all day basis.
This comment section is the internet equivalent of the slow kids class, filled with booger eaters, bed wetters, and pants shitters.
Why don't you clowns get a fucking job.
Ahhh, but you wouldn't miss a single day of it would you 8:29?
ReplyDeleteOh, the self loathing you feel must be immense!!
The next time a computer frees up at the library you're going to be devastated to find out that's a picture from a television show and not of me. It'll be almost as devastating at the havoc you wreak on the English language.
ReplyDeleteProtip: Wearing adult-sized collars will lessen the effects of the blood flow being cut off to your brain.
What about the "Pull Up Your Pants" rule?
ReplyDeleteThis blog requires a neanderthal level of thinking. Thanks Kansas City!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry there will be cops on every street car, cause they won't be able to replace their patrol cars when this thing gets built. We will be broke cause Sly is stealing from the poor and giving to the rich.
ReplyDeleteSure glad they didn't outlaw guns. That should make things even out!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, are we going to hire 10 more police officers just to write trolley tickets?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess I can't have that one gallon of gasoline, a couple of blocks of C4, etc., while riding the trolley ?
ReplyDeleteSly is the opposite of Robinhood, he's Robbin the Hood!
ReplyDeleteTake from the poor and give to the rich.
I feel sorry for the taxpayers stuck in the middle, who actually have to pony up for this shit.
ReplyDelete8:29: That guy'll try anything. Posing as a black dude accusing streetcar opponents of racism, now he's saying they're homos. Yep. Mensa boy will try anything except addressing the big question regarding the streetcar: why?
ReplyDelete902, you are correct. There is no contextual consideration for anything. Over generalization prevails. The "stars" of this blog include an anonymous bear than displays affection for the KKK and a cum guy who has rape-anger-misogynous affliction.
ReplyDeleteJust be glad their parents limit their internet use to 30 minutes daily.
And yet here you are!
ReplyDeleteNext time you're on the bus, pay attention to how many people are eating chips and drinking large sodas. It's practically a cafeteria. It's also usually the people that white urbanists don't like to ride next to.
ReplyDeleteI figured out what the bus stigma is.
Can I bring my pet nigger on this ride? It's trained and won't shit all over the place.
ReplyDelete8:04... "liar"
ReplyDeleteThis blog requires a neanderthal level of thinking. Thanks Kansas City!
ReplyDeleteAnd here you are contributing your neanderthal DNA to the discussion, 10:55.
ReplyDeleteThat was epic…This blog requires a neanderthal level of thinking. Thanks Kansas City!
DeleteAnd you're still here!
ReplyDeleteA crime not to pay the fare? WTF? I thought Russ declared the streetcar free to all riders?
ReplyDeleteIt's only free for card-carrying hipsters.
