Busted

Local blogger Heidi says goodbye to the 56. It’s the end of the line for this historic KC bus route. With little fanfare, a small segment of KC’s transportation history came to an end.

Kansas City doesn't take much pride in its buses, and the last run of the 56 tonight was a lonely one at its south end. Perhaps some people boarded it later specifically for its final northbound stops...

Sunday morning some people will make a big deal of the first MAX run--but tonight, it's goodbye to the 56.

The era of KC’s old, nearly abandoned bus line is over. The era of KC’s new, deserted bus line has just begun. I can’t wait to not use it.
