Could Kansas City become the first major U.S. city with a free transit system?
David Wilson It costs $1.50 to ride a bus in Kansas City. That's $15 per week to get to and from work-$50 per month for those that purchase a 31-day pass. That may not sound like much.

"online public meeting"
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO
“Could Kansas City become the first major U.S. city with a free transit system?“ And by “free” do you mean that property owners will be seeing a vast increase over the 200% increase in taxes that we’re now on the hook for in 2019, to cover said “free transit”. Either that or our Water Bill is going up to cover the free-ness of it all. They use the fees from the water bill to fund slush funds like this. Kansas City Public Transit sucks so it might as well be free.
ReplyDeleteI’m more interested in knowing when these sewers will be fixed, whether trash will be picked up on a consistent basis (where the people picking up the trash won’t leave more trash than they picked up), safe roads and less bike lanes. I really wish this City would try to focus on basic City services that we already pay for without raising more taxes. I met with a business associate yesterday and he said meeting with City Council people was a lot like meeting with a group of toddlers - they have no idea what you’re talking about and unless a friend tells them they like or support you - you’re probably no going to be able to get through to them, no matter how credible your issue is.
Downtown going green?

ReplyDeleteKind of sounds like our neighborhood association.
"Could Kansas City become the first major U.S. city with a free transit system?"
ReplyDeleteIt's a good idea, and only fair. After all, streetcar riders, streetcar constructors, downtown luxury apartment developers, and other grifters get a free ride in Kansas City.
Why not give a free ride to those who actually need one?
I'm for free buses. It will give bums somewhere to spend the day other than the public library.
