Sound Of The Kansas City Toy Train Streetcar As We Count Rigged Ridership & Votes!!!



Hype for the Kansas City toy train streetcar continues at ludicrous speed thanks to a small army of paid consultants, politicos, lawyers, mariachis and developers touting tourist rides rather than focusing on transit across town.

To be fair, Streetcar authority ridership numbers were released again today and once again they offer good news for the dweebs who submit to the the authority of local B-list lawyers and amateur urban planners . . .

The fake news highlights . . .

- On the July 4th weekend, 30,391 rides were completed.

- The largest ridership day to date was July 16, 2016, when 15,780 rides were completed in one day.

- During the month of July, 233,683 trips were completed.

Still, the bright side of this train to nowhere is that all of this hype has drawn increasing skepticism.

A word today from one of the best and brightest of our blog community offers ALTERNATIVE info and perspective . . .

"We all know the streetcar numbers are grossly inflated and not audited by an independent outside agency . . . Here are examples of where audits proved other cities wrong in their claims of ridership and reliability. Cincinnati uses the same manufacturer of their streetcar as Kansas City and they've had lots of problems."

Portland Streetcar annual ridership inflated by 19 percent, 1.1 million rides, audit reports

Normally we end this post with "you decide" BUT the worst part of the downtown toy train disaster is the THE KANSAS CITY STREETCAR ACTIVELY UNDERMINES LOCAL DEMOCRACY BY WAY OF GERRYMANDERING AND VOTER SUPPRESSION which today's election returns will almost certainly confirm.

You decide . . .

  4. 30k plus in people around the 4th had noting to do other than to ride a short choo choo.

    Since the 4th was on a Tue it wasn't really a part of the weekend.

    So sad that figures such as these are thrown around thinking people will believe it.

  10. EDC members were quick to grab up land along the streetcar route and make rules and regulations to get parking lots along the route or near it .
    People who knew very little about transportation all of a sudden knew everything but were quick not to debate other who did.
