I live in KCMO and work in KCK - over the last year, ridership on the 101, 106 and 114 have all gone up (well, at least it seems that way). With the Legend Complex up and running, more transit options are clearly in need for Wyco/KCK. You might be right on the KCK bit . . .

The JO is really just a token (and, yes, i have ridden it before). honestly, i'm afraid KCK will take the lead on the kansas side, as they are hankering to shed their still-rusty image and emerge as incubator for "new ideas" (new by kansas' definition). thanks for the two votes of confidence!

I think the last point is absolutely key - how many of the city leaders actually use the Metro? Another aspect of this is when will Johnson county park start promoting transit - a few months ago on Ruckus - one of the panelists raised the point of when will Johnson County actually do something for the good of the entire metro area? The point was not made directly to the transit question, but let's face the facts - a county the size of Johnson County that has no weekend bus service is an embarrassing disgrace and needs to be fixed asap.
