Big 12 RideKC service and detours

The Big 12 Basketball Championship comes to Kansas City March 5-15, and RideKC’s Main MAX and other buses offer a fast and free no-parking option to get fans to the games.

The basics for visitors:

• No fares are being charged on buses, so there are no worries about exact change or multi-day tickets.
• RideKC’s app for trip planning and real-time tracking your bus is Transit, available in the Google Play and Apple App stores. The app also provides information about how crowded buses are.
• Printed schedules are no longer available on buses. Customers can print schedules at our website or easily check schedules in the Transit app. 

The Men’s Championship will be held March 11-15 at T-Mobile Center. The Women’s Championship will be held March 5-9 at T-Mobile Center.

Detour at T-Mobile: See the bulletin.

Southbound buses from 3rd & Grand will stop at the 11th & Grand stop. The Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship will be held at T-Mobile Center, 1407 Grand.
