Kansas City Bus System Imploding 2025?!?

Pretty much . . . Here's another election update with a better look at upcoming damage. 

Again . . .

What grinds our gears is that even activists advocating for free rides WON'T mention all of the sketchy "borrowing" from bus funds in order to subsidize developers. Anybody watching closely has to realize this is the root of EPIC KCMO corruption and mismanagement.  

Now, here's a more traditional view about impending cuts . . .

The KCATA faces a funding gap of about $32 million. Without more money from the city to cover its $117 million in operational costs, the agency will cut 13 of its 29 weekday routes in the city and only run seven routes on the weekends.

The remaining routes will nearly all run less frequently, and the KCATA will stop service at 11 p.m. instead of 1 a.m.

The Main Max, Troost Max, Prospect Max and #24 — some of the KCATA’s busiest routes — will run less frequently during non-peak hours and on weekdays. Between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., the routes will arrive every 15-20 minutes. Outside of those times, most of the routes will run every 30 minutes.

Kansas City bus cuts would be 'worst-case scenario' for riders: longer waits and way fewer routes

The drastic service cuts proposed by the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority to fill a budget hole mean remaining routes will run less frequently and likely get more crowded. Riders and drivers hope it won't come to that.
