Prospect MAX Begins Monday, Dec. 9

RideKC's newest MAX line is almost ready to roll. Prospect MAX will start on Monday, Dec. 9.

Prospect MAX will offer frequent service, upgraded MAX vehicles, traffic signal priority and fewer stops for faster service. Level boarding at several high ridership stops will also help people get on and off the bus more easily and more quickly. The new Prospect MAX stations will include touchscreen technology and free WiFi while you wait for your MAX. And we've built and repaired more than 40,000 feet of sidewalks along the route.

Prospect MAX schedule

  • Weekdays, 4 a.m. ' 1 a.m.: Every 10 minutes during the day, every 30 minutes at night
  • Saturdays, 5 a.m. ' 1 a.m.: Every 15 minutes during the day, every 30 minutes at night
  • Sundays, 5:30 a.m. ' 12:30 a.m.: Every 30 minutes
