Amtrak says no taxis or rideshare allowed near KC Union Station, no checked baggage, urges riders to use other stations many miles away

Amtrak urged riders to use the Independence or the 40 miles away Lawrence stations instead. Said no nearby dropoff or pickup of passengers.

That;s a fail by the city.
