I will admit that when I wrote that to Powercat I was extremely irritated due to KU having one its worst losses of the decade and it may have been a little (alot) of misdirected anger, but what I was saying was if KC does something good you'll see a few mild posts about it, when KC does something bad you'll see 4-5 pages on here about it. That's not "confirmation bias", that's just what it is. Yes, to me that's annoying. But whatever. Nothing gonna change that anyway.

The biggest problem is the still the ingress vehicular traffic upon arrival. It’s going to have to be re-engineered ultimately. Just a total mess with confusion over lanes for departures and arrivals, lines of traffic with backups. There is no reason at peak times that there should be this much of a problem and I’ve encountered it now multiple times without improvement.
