Editor Chloe here to talk about the KC Streetcar.
The big picture: Abbey and Travis have hyped up the streetcar quite a bit, and I admit I was a little skeptical.
- I visited Kansas City for the first time this week, and the streetcar did not disappoint.
The vibe: We couldn't use it to access every place we visited, but it got us to a lot of them. It was quick, easy and not too crowded.
- Plus: I did not see a single mystery liquid.
The bottom line: As far as public transportation goes, the streetcar gets a 9/10 from me.
- It's not quite as good as the heated seats in my car, but it's pretty close.
