Labor
The decline of public transit in the United States was one of the consequences of urban sprawl that has dominated this country's development since the end of World War II. (More about this problem can be found on the Labor & the Environment page on this site.) This national trend was pushed to the extreme in the Kansas City Area. A good summary of this process can be found in a Labor Party Transit Club position paper, The Future of Kansas City Transit.
