Reply #40: Kansas City's is weak in most places.

[Telly Savalas]

The routes give pretty good coverage of the city proper, the buses are clean and well-kept, and the staff is friendly. It's cheap too: $1.25 single fare, $3 day pass, $40 month pass. However most routes run way too infrequently, making it extremely awkward to get around unless you've planned your trip to be timed with the bus schedules. (And I won't even talk about the burbs.)

I use it to commute to work. For spontaneous trips and running errands, the sparse scheduling makes it too much of a pain in the ass since it can frequently take 3 or 4 times longer to get somewhere.

Like many places in America, the problem is that the city is designed with cars in mind.
