Ride Topeka
In Kansas City MO, would it be safe to walk from 11th & Troost to 10th & Main at 8:15p?
To save on gas costs and to avoid paying nearly $100 just for a shuttle ride to the airport from Topeka, I've decided to take Greyhound to Kansas City, MO followed by taking the Metro to KCI Airport. Greyhound is on 11th & Troost, which I've heard Troost is not the greatest of areas.
Would it be safe if I were to make the 12+ min. walk from 11th & Troost over to the Transit Centre on 10th & Main, or just play it safe and take the 2 min. ride to that area? It'd be a July evening at about 8:15p when I do this, and this would be my first time in KCMO, although I've seen some street view photos of my route on Google maps.
Three resounding "Don't Walk" answers.. That's a clincher to me, then.. Granted, I've walked around San Francisco at rather shifty hours a couple times, but that's San Francisco.. Thanks all for the input, looks like I'll be calling for the taxi before I even get off the Greyhound bus!
Don't walk it - especially just getting off at that bus station. That area is a known trouble spot. You are on the east side there and have several blocks that are rough heading west until you reach around locust where things start to smooth out. As a former cabbie in that area I would say spend the $7.00 and get the cab straight to 10th and Main - and don't hang out at that transit station too long either. The best part of downtown KC is currently in the southside of the city in the area know as the power and light district - lots of security there and new development - around the new Sprint Center and KC Star building. Interesting note: Jesse James lived in a house right where that bus station now sets.
