TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! FIRST KANSAS CITY STREETCAR REVIEWS REVEAL: TOY TRAIN FAR TOO SLOW AND PACKED WITH MEDIA AND PAID SHILLS!!!

The first reviews of the streetcar are in and our KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY isn't afraid to provide a bit of critical reporting and commentary while most Kansas City newsies are playing the part of cheeerleader amid their questionable "news" coverage.

To wit . . .

THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TOY TRAIN STREETCAR FROM KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS IS THAT IT'S INCREDIBLY SLOW!!!

Remember that this outdated mode of transit reached its zenith long, long ago before the digital age demanded that all the important people run around at nearly full speed whilst looking at their phones.

With 16 stops along the line, there is no doubt that this is a SLOOOOOOOW and leisurely bit of transit is targeted at middle-class denizens of downtown who don't have anywhere to be . . .

One AWESOME TKC TIPSTER sent us this note . . .

"I know, I'm a sucker for a party but it was funny to see that some of the more skilled joggers were easily passing the streetcar on its first day. In my journey along the line, it was clear that this streetcar is just for tourists and nobody else with business or an important date/appointment."

Another review . . .

"It's slow and way too bumpy. Obviously the job smoothing out local streets was haphazard and that's only going to get worse over time. In fact, during my route we all seemed in good spirits and cheered when the streetcar cleared a very significant bump. But I doubt people will be as happy when they spill their coffee all over themselves on a morning commute."

And then, it's important to note that half of today's crowd was nothing more than consultants and media people rushing to share the good news to all of the same dweebs on Facebook.

Accordingly, here's the BEST quote from our blog community:

"The comments from all the dumbsh*ts who think this is exciting are hysterical. I love the idiot who says, "First a world championship, now this! We're definitely in the big time!" What a moron . . . Like standing in a crowded rail car is such a privilege? That's something no one who uses mass transit regularly would ever say."


Still, this is Mayor Sly's day to shine and he seemed exceptionally happy to get to this point in his career . . .

Check a photo he shared taking the first ride on the toy train . . .



Like it or not, this is quite an accomplishment for Mayor Sly James that took a controversial special taxing district tactic which excluded voters across the city from this line, a FAILED extension effort and the defeat of two incumbent councilman who offered the strongest support of the streetcar.

Let's not also forget that more than $125 MILLION for a tiny transit route that's over-budget and continues to cost a great many people while only Mayor James earns the glory for this questionable achievement.

You decide . . .
