KANSAS CITY SHAME!!! LAME TROLLEYS REPLACE HOLIDAY CAB ON NEW YEARS EVE AND RISK KANSAS CITY LIVES!!!
Here's another situation where the more money Kansas City gives the less it gets in return.
First I thought that the free trolley rides on The KC Strip for New Year's was just a lame gimmick.
But then there I learned of the far less publicized reports regarding the fact that Holiday Cab for New Year's Eve Drunks will be SHUT DOWN!!!
Back in 2008 they tried this same stunt and there was a public outcry.
Now a heavily subsidized and FAILING Kansas City business is going to be promoted despite the fact that it's not at all effective . . . .
GET IT STRAIGHT . . . THE LAME KC STRIP TROLLEY IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR HOLIDAY CAB!!!
Holiday Cab is for taking drunks home safely while The FAILED KC Strip is just a party bus that NOBODY really liked and was never that useful.
Characteristically, Holiday Cab was a charity endeavor while KANSAS CITY IS PAYING FOR THE KC STRIP!!!
And while I guess nobody can force a charitable act . . . The greedy and corrupt priorities of Kansas City are leading us into next year as local biz dudes are still feeding off of Kansas City and promoting their LOSING endeavors while ignoring any kind of civic responsibility.
If they don't realize that a cab fare is cheaper than a DWI, then they should either stay home, stay sober, or stay in jail.
ReplyDeleteShut up you drucking funks and climb in the widdle boxcar...
ReplyDelete7:07 - you missed the point of the blog. I'll try to explain the basic concept, it's that once again corporate greed and wasteful government spending has given a warm golden shower on what was once a decent and charitable act that guaranteed to save lives. To your point, yes, a DWI can cost upwards of $10K or even the loss of lives which is a tragedy, but the free cab rides served a good and decent purpose, to take some drunk drivers off the road and also to get party-goers more used to the idea of taking cabs. On the other hand, I've taken late night cab rides in KC where the driver was either falling asleep behind the wheel (more dangerous than being drunk) or couldn't speak English or follow directions. The best thing you can do for your friends is volunteer to be the DD and get everyone home safely.
ReplyDeleteTony, why should the cab company foot the bill for free cab rides when the taxpayers have already fronted the trollie operation over 300 Grand?
ReplyDeleteIt's simply economics; the taxpayers get screwed and Bill George gets the bucks!
The City Council is starting to figure out that George and Nigro took them for the "ride". All of that $ loaned to guys tied into a $50 Billion revenue French conglomerate. All but a couple of the current council have had their fill of these guys. This free deal is a gimmick to impress candidates in the next cycle.
ReplyDeleteThe thing sucks. They started at $15, then $10, then $5 on Groupon (where they only get $2.50) now Free.
It's a dangerous-failed political prop for George and Nigro.
It'll be like Mexico City Transit tomorrow night with the things so packed arms and legs will be sticking out the windows. Somethings ugly's bound to happen and nobody gets a ride home. In fucking crdible.
ReplyDeleteTonys favorite italian dish is henry's dick in tony's mom's ass. tony loves watching and hearing his mom scream. he blames his mom for his dad abandoning them
ReplyDeleteNot all wowen scream when getting it done "there". In fact I know several who are quite fond of it.
ReplyDelete"The City Council is starting to figure out that George and Nigro took them for the 'ride'. "
ReplyDeleteBut Kim George (ne Carlos) told everyone it was such a good deal!
It would be fun to see Kim dry humping on their "porno cam".Maybe some of the simulated oral that's been seen there too.
ReplyDeletewerd!
ReplyDeleteIt was never free jackass. They might have knocked the first ten bucks or so off but that wont get you from Westport to the plaza anymore.
ReplyDeleteCompletely irresponsible for the ineffective trolleys to be allowed to replace the far more sensible holiday cabs
ReplyDeleteCompletely in character for Nigro to be on the news, thrilled about it. Does he plan to have as many trolleys on the streets as there are holiday cabs?
Ridiculous that this awful idea is made public just a day before New Years Eve.
Will be a good night to stay home!
I overheard a couple of women talking, and one said she hoped she got bald. Now why would any woman want to lose her hair?
ReplyDeleteThat is ridiculous! It's been one good deed done away with after another ever since funkyhouse weaseled his way in
ReplyDeleteAnd it was the first $25 Free...not $10 off.
ReplyDeleteTony - You are a cancer to Kansas City. The KC Strip is a Great idea. New Years Eve was a total success. Tony you have a lot of people who believe the crap you write. Maybe you should use your influence for good instead of going for the cheap shock value in going against the grain.
ReplyDeleteIf you care so much about the money KC puts into programs like the KC Strip why not promote it instead of slamming it.
I think you are a jealous little man who needs a real ass kicking.
Trust me. It's coming. Keep an eye over your shoulder.
Few people were on it except dt where they rode from the parking lots. Otherwise virtually empty all night.
ReplyDeleteFYI the number of riders on New Years Eve on the KC Strip was over 800.
ReplyDeleteScrew you Tony.
