Seven Routes Add Service During World Cup

Good news for daily RideKC customers and tourists visiting Kansas City for the upcoming World Cup action! Seven RideKC routes will be expanding service to support increased demand and to provide more frequent connections to the KC Streetcar. The KC Streetcar will be directly serving FanFest at Liberty Memorial.

This temporary increase in service will be effective Sunday, June 7, 2026, through Saturday, July 11, 2026. On July 12, service will revert to the schedule in place today.

These routes will be temporarily improved:

• 12 12th Street – increase frequency and run until 2 a.m.
• 24 Independence – will run until 2 a.m.
