Save on Gas, Game Tickets and Parking

Ride the Express to the Royals Games
Roundtrip Fare is $6!

Monday’s home opener against the New York Yankees is a sellout. The Metro is ready to roll out Royals Express service for what will be an exciting home opener matchup and Royals Season. For only $6, you get roundtrip, fast service. No need to pay for parking or to burn pricey gasoline getting to and from the games.

Stops and Schedule

Fans can ride the Express to every home game at the “K.” Main pickup points are Waldo, Brookside, the Plaza, midtown, Crown Center and downtown. See route maps for the back of this bulletin.

The Express service includes stops from Metro Park-and-Ride lots and transit centers:

    Waldo (74th Terr. & Broadway, Gregory & Wornall)
    River Market (3rd & Grand)
    10th & Main Transit Center (Main St. stop)

Board the Express at Metro and MAX bus stops along the route and at stops that display a red “Stadium Express” sign. The first bus on each route will leave the first stops two hours before the game; the second bus on each route leaves the first stop one hour before the game. The first stop on the Waldo-Plaza route is 74th Terr. & Broadway; the first stop on the Downtown-Crown Center route is 3rd & Grand. However, during the opening series against New York, April 8-10, two additional buses will travel on the route. Schedules for the opening series are below.

$6 Fare and $6 Ticket Discount

The $6 round-trip fare not only gets you to the games, but also can be used to get you in to see all the action. The Kansas City Royals are offering Express customers a $6 discount on their game-ticket purchase. When you pay the $6 fare upon boarding, the driver will issue a $6 coupon. To receive the discount, turn in the coupon at the Royals Ticket Window. Offer excludes Opening Day, April 8, and the following series: New York Yankees, April 8-10, St. Louis Cardinals, June 27-29, and Boston Red Sox, August 4-6.

All express customers, regardless of age, will be charged the full $6 fare. Please have exact cash fare when boarding the Royals Express. Operators cannot make change.
