In Kansas City, the public transportation is terrible, almost nonexistant. If you live and work anywhere of the main thourfares or if you dont work and live near the major streets and buslines,you're screwed. If you dont own a car, or do not have a family member who drives,and you live too far to bike or dont own a bike. then youre screwed. Very few people can ever depend on the public buses here.
And the drivers here are mean, surley, stressed, underpaid, and angry. I wonder if they make new applicants are screened,so that they only hire the disgruntled.
If you dont drive in this town, your better off geting a bicycle.
