Service Bulletins

This page will be updated daily with important information about transit service during the COVID pandemic. 

Effective Sunday, April 4, riders may board RideKC buses at the front door or the back door

We are currently experiencing a sharp increase in paratransit trips. Social distancing in vehicles to stop the spread of COVID-19 and a shortage of drivers during the pandemic has caused our contractors to struggle to make service consistently. Many of you are experiencing long wait times during peak hours.

Temporary reroutes.

Spring in Kansas City brings the chance of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in the region. During most storms, your travel will not be affected. However, Kansas City may experience severe storms or tornado warnings. In the most severe storms or during a tornado warning in the immediate area of your bus, the bus operator will give you directions about safety. The dispatch office will be in contact with bus operators during severe weather.

In April, RideKC will change routes 12 12th Street, 28 Blue Ridge, 29 Blue Ridge Limited, 35 35th Street, 77 Casino Cruiser and 229 KCI-Boardwalk.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an order requiring all operators and transit customers to wear face masks at transit stops and on board to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Buses will reroute near Sprint Center for select events. 

Main MAX and 47 Broadway will detour for construction near the Country Club Plaza. The detour for Main MAX was revised March 23.

RideKC will changes six routes to Saturday schedules starting Monday, Jan. 4, due to the staffing shortages among our operator workforce and increasing community spread of COVID-19. Routes affected are 27, 28, 63, 75, 229 and 238.
