Getting Around

Hiring a car is the most popular and convenient means of getting around Kansas City. Traffic is seldom too congested and parking is plentiful. Many taxi companies operate in the city and wider region; Lyft and Uber are among the rideshare options.

Kansas City is steadily developing cycling lanes and tracks, so hiring a bicycle is a fun option in the downtown area. Public transportation consists of a streetcar system and a bus service. The streetcar is free to ride and operates from 6am to 12am, Monday to Thursday, and until 1am on a Friday, with a limited weekend schedule.
