ST-1.3 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)

MAX Bus Rapid Transit service provides faster, more frequent service, and features the latest technology in the transit industry. MAX uses easy-to-identify vehicles. Its stops are well-lit, with highly visible information markers and newly designed passenger shelters. Information markers feature real-time MAX arrival information so that customers may wait with greater confidence.

Kansas City’s first BRT line opened in July 2005 and currently serves River Market, downtown, Crown Center, midtown and the Plaza. Due to its success, a second BRT line will open on Troost Avenue in 2011, bringing:

  • Fewer stops for faster service
  • Well-lit, attractive stations will feature real-time arrival signs loaded with information
  • Uniquely designed, accessible passenger shelters with attractive landscaping
  • Hybrid buses
  • Easy, convenient schedules and route maps
  • The latest GPS technology for reliable, rapid service
