I visited KC for a few days and wanted to use public transportation. They have no subway, but the…read moreMetro bus system is good, with large, clean, air-conditioned (I went in August!) buses that go everywhere and arrive on time. The long rides I went on were only $1.50, or you can get an all-day pass for just $3.00 (as of 2016). There is also a downtown ultra-modern street tram that I think the day pass covers as well; I haven't ridden it yet. One oddity: the bus that goes to MCI (the larger, outlying airport) is called the "KCI" bus, KCI standing for Kansas City International. There is also a smaller downtown airport called MKC. This all confused me upon arrival, but it was soon obvious that KCI = MCI. Other than that, I highly recommend it. Good job, Kansas City!

It does only run in 1 route from Main Street in downtown Kansas City. It has 16 stops pretty well spaced out and goes to the River City Market areas to Union Station, in addition to other spots in the city. I liked it because it was a quick ride up and down, runs from 6am to midnight or 1am or 7am to midnight depending on what day. And cars run every 10 to 15 min/ 12 to 18 min. The cars are clean, air conditioned, and have ample seating/handles for standing. At the end of each stop you have to exit and re enter at the other side. Nobody is allowed to remain on board at the end of the line. It is nice to know that the car operates during holidays, but modified hours. Looking forward to exploring this option again once I'm back for a visit since more extensions will be opening soon.

I don't really know how to describe the feeling of being stood up by the JO. Maybe it's like being…read morestood up by ridiculously dumb girl with tons of zits that dresses unironically like its 1991. It's actually happened a couple of times to me. First, it happened in Lawrence as their web site, Google Maps, and the bus driver apparently weren't coordinated with each other (huuuuh?). It's kinda a big deal when it's late, you're tired, and you're waiting at 19th/Haskell. It almost happened again on the Plaza. The driver ignored me at the designated stop so I chased the bus until it stopped at a non-designated stop. Most recently, the JO stranded me at Crown Center without another bus until the morning. The driver departed from the designated stop well before the schedule indicated. It's not like I'm being stranded at 11:30 PM after having too many drinks at the Zoo Bar-- these "last bus" options depart, sadly, at 5:40 PM. Careful if you have to stay late at the office or the JO driver has a lead foot...you might end up sleeping in Washington Square Park. I'm savvy about mass transit and use it all the time. I don't feel at all comfortable relying on the JO. To be so entirely scatterbrained and unreliable about such important things as schedules is completely inexcusable. Because the JO has such a pathetic amount of riders I'm confident these asinine mistakes haven't been an issue. The JO is run as a small commuter bus service between the city (downtown/crown center) and various points in the county. This fact makes the bus undesirable as a transit option for most Johnson Countians (or reverse commute Kansas Citians for that matter). Only recently has the system made strides to diversify and operate new routes (K10 Connector, new 75th Street service) to draw more than just a trickle cult riders. So these issues put the JO smack dab in the middle of the worst of the worst, barf, hate pit, DIE DIE DIE categories. However, I will freely admit the JO has some of the nicest, most Midwestern drivers you'll find on any transit system. They are worth riding it alone. Because the ridership numbers are so low (seriously, JO ridership is so incredibly sad it makes ANY Metro route look like the red line in Chicago) the drivers are able to be incredibly kind, approachable ,patient and helpful. They will call other buses to help you make transfers, chitchat, go out of their way to help riders. For example, when 2 bike stalls in the front of the bus were both taken...the driver actually let a biker take his bike in the bus which is something to behold. Probably against protocol, but surely a sign of a mad cool bus driver that wants to help riders. The JO must be run by a bunch of people that have never ridden mass transit. This has to be true because if they live in JoCo mass transit wouldn't take them from their homes to JO HQ. It seems like they're trying, but just don't get it. You can't run a bus 3X in the morning and 3X in the evening and expect people to take you seriously. You can't completely botch your schedules, leave people stranded and then tweet back that you fixed whatever went wrong. You can't create one new route and give it multiple names for the different times of day it runs There's a big reason no one rides the JO and I found a good clip to sum it all up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOKK8mAkiUI

I have lived in JoCo for years, and finally had reason to try riding the Jo this year--when I…read morefractured my arm on a ski trip. Immediately, I enjoyed the convenience and savings from using public transportation, & have continued to ride though I'm back to two working arms now. The park & ride is close to home and the bus drops me right in front of work. Instead of sitting in my car in rush hour traffic, I can sit back and relax. I also get a lot of my work done on the bus and have to do less of it once I get home. I tell people it's like finding time in your day! Riding barely takes longer than driving, and the bus can hop on the shoulder and keep moving past the line of traffic. My company subsidizes our monthly passes, so I get a considerable discount. I save on gas and there's less wear & tear on my car. And I feel good about doing something more responsible for the environment. The drivers are helpful and friendly, as are the other professionals who ride. When I've contacted Transit through Twitter I receive fast and friendly responses. All of these things make it an easy decision to continue riding the Jo. My suggestions for improvement would be to do more effective advertising about the benefits of riding, to increase ridership, so that more routes and schedules can be added. But I am a fan for sure.

No, nothing was provided for us.This is public transportation and who is to say it didn't come from another fare. This has been very embarrassing for us. We did call them to talk to someone but it was futile. They are always busy, always late, vehicle doors don't always work, mostly uncomfortable. Not very professional.
