They've got nothing on the infamous UP Express promo video!
The KC Streetcar, as its name implies, is different from our LRT. It's mixed traffic, and a much shorter line, only 2.5km long. Not much longer than the A-Line stub proposed as part of Hamilton's LRT.
At least this one is a straight line, and connects several major destinations on the way. It's just a downtown shuttle, but as far as downtown shuttles go, it looks pretty good, and could conceivably be extended south, eventually joining some old streetcar right-of-ways for faster travel.
The Hamilton A-Line stub (red) is about 2km long.
