One of the reasons Chicago, MPLS/St.Paul . . . have good, late night running transit is because the parking prices are very high - if parking prices went up in the KC metro, I would imagine that the ridership on the Metro would also go up. It seems that in KC there are so many competing and conflicting interests and each one seems intent on keeping transit in the "minor leagues."
