Exactly. As much as regional transit sucks in KC. I honestly don't think it matters one bit in this case. What matters is KC will have a really nice urban tram system in place connecting all the urban core districts, attractions and hotels so people can easily move throughout the parts of the city that people will want to see.im2kull wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 3:26 am I don't get why everyone is making Transit out to be a bad thing in KC, instead of highlighting the fact that we have an awesome highway infrastructure system with zero congestion. Uber, taxis, and other ride hailing services are still a date, are they not? Busses?
The key to getting people to and from the stadium will be with a well organized bus system and that would be needed even if KC had light rail.
KC will need to simply run an efficient bus route system to the Plaza, Downtown, Crown Center and suburban hotel districts like KCI and Overland Park. Run a coach bus from KCI to river market every 30 minutes too.
So having a few key places to catch buses along the streetcar line and those buses having dedicated lanes all the way to the stadium is all that really needs to be done. You could even just run the stadium buses up and down main right along the streetcar tracks, so they are easy to find.
They would do the same thing for Giants stadium, Rose Bowl, Washington DC, Miami, Dallas, Boston and Philly. None of those have high quality transit accessible football stadiums.
