Beginning Sunday, October 19, the following RideKC Bus Changes will go into effect in coordination with the KC Streetcar Main Street Extension Opening.
Main MAX: Main MAX will be discontinued 10/19/25. Temporary service between the Plaza and Downtown will be available 10/19/25 through 10/23/25. Starting 10/24/25, North-South service along Main St. will be available via KC Streetcar. New route 50 Main-Brookside will offer North-South service along Brookside Blvd./Wornall Rd. between UMKC and 75th St.
24 Independence: The downtown portion of Route 24 Independence will shift two blocks west to travel along Main St. instead of Grand Blvd. This change will provide a direct connection to the Main St. Streetcar.
35 35th Street: Route 35 35th St. will experience an alignment change south of Armour Blvd. Route 35 will no longer travel Main St. to Westport Rd. to Roanoke Pkwy. Instead, Route 35 will travel to the Plaza along Broadway Blvd.
47 Broadway: Route 47 Broadway will be restructured to avoid duplication of service with the Streetcar. Route 47 will no longer travel downtown via Broadway Blvd. Instead, Route 47 will continue traveling east to terminate at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Passengers can deboard Route 47 at the Plaza and connect to the Streetcar to travel downtown.
NEW! 50 Main Brookside: Route 50 Main-Brookside is a new route being introduced to connect the southern Streetcar terminus at UMKC to 75th and Troost. Route 50 will travel North-South from UMKC to 75th St.
