Bike Racks on KC Buses

Biking in the City

Bike Racks Now on City Buses

As of April 2002 city buses now have bike racks on select routes, with more on the way. This opens up more opportunities for biking different and more distance places, especially for commuters or people going to/from the fringes of the city.

The routes connect the cool stuff in Downtown and Midtown with the south, southeast, and northern reaches of the city - including a Missouri River crossing and connections to the Zoo and Country Club Plaza.
