Treehugger thinks the transit stop near KC's Truman Stadium complex really is the sorriest bus stop in America : TreeHugger

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

I wrote about Kauffman Stadium last year as my beloved Blue Jays were getting killed in the pennant race, complaining about the sea of asphalt around it and comparing it to Toronto's downtown Rogers Centre. I was roundly condemned by Royals fans saying “everybody drives, it is part of our tailgate party culture, go back to Canada and take your stupid foreign Blue Jays with you,” But it is clear that not everybody drives, and that no provision is made for those who do not.

The Silver Spring stop is appalling, but the Kansas City one is worse in so many ways, saying “we exist for fans who pay lots of money to come to our game and we simply don’t care about the kind of people who take transit.” In Silver Spring, everyone agrees it's awful but denies responsibility. In Kansas City, it’s just a blatant statement of “we don’t serve your kind here.” I think that makes it far worse.

MoBikeFed comment: The Truman Stadium bus stop ended up as runner-up in the nationwide competition for worst bus stop in America. Last year, a remote St. Louis-region bus stop took first place.

Is this really where we want to be as a state?
