Construction At Arrowhead To Affect Service
Chiefs Express will get fans to the game this year, with some minor changes.
Changes To Routes, Stadium Drop-off and Pick-up
Due to the major construction in progress at the Truman Sports Complex, there is less parking available and less space for Metro buses. As a result, two Chiefs Express stop locations have been eliminated. The Express will no longer pick customers up in Independence or in Kansas City, Ks. However, buses will still have exclusive lanes in and out of Arrowhead, but the drop-off and pick-up locations will be much farther away from the main gate. Fans should also anticipate traffic delays due to congestion.
Additionally, Joe Herndon Park-and-Ride in Raytown, Mo., will be replaced by the Raytown City Hall Park-and-Ride. The Red Bridge & 71 Hwy. Park-and-Ride will replace the Bannister Park-and-Ride.
Fares and Season Tickets
Single-game, roundtrip Chiefs Express tickets are available for $8 each when purchased in advance online or at Chiefs Express Ticket Outlets. Cash fare is $10. Metro Reduced Farecards and monthly passes are not valid on Chiefs Express. Transfers are not accepted; please use exact change.
The Chiefs Express Season Pass is a bargain for fans attending every home game. For $75, fans can take the Express to the 10 home games. To order with a Visa or Mastercard, go to The Metro’s online store at store.kcata.org, or order by mail with the form at http://www.kcata.org/maps_schedules/chiefs_express/. Allow two weeks to process your order.
