How safe is the Kansas City Greyhound station?
I'm looking for a cheap way to travel home for spring break, and I was thinking about taking a Greyhound bus. However, there is a 2-hour layover in Kansas City, Missouri and it's somewhat late at night. I'm an 18 year old girl traveling alone, so obviously this concerns me. Does anyone know how safe this bust station is?

Answer 1 :
you said bust station. Your Freudian slip says it all.
Answer 2 :
I hear it's at 12th and Troost which isn't a great part of town. A coworker tells me that they used to have security guards but doesn't know if they still do. Maybe you can call and ask.
Answer 3 :
Lol well. If you don't know the city, don't leave. Kansas City's violence is faar worse then a lot of people think. However, 12th and Troost is on the outside of the ghetto. More downtown than anything. It's relatively safe. I'm a white 19 year old guy and I mess around downtown all the time. You really should have no concerns with it. stay in the bus station, you'll be absolutely fine. Thanks for the idea though, I've been trying to find a place that rents cars to 18+ in Kc, didn't even think about greyhound. Good luck!
