(Kansas City, Mo. – April 3, 2013) Metro customers can take The Metro’s 108-Indiana to The Kansas City Zoo this Sunday, April 7. The Metro will offer more frequent service in conjunction with the Zoological District Free Day.
108-Indiana will offer service every 30 minutes from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., to coincide with Zoo hours. Thanks to a special partnership between the Kansas City Zoo and Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA), it will be free to ride the 108 to and from the Kansas City Zoo during this time as well. The 108 will operate its regular hourly frequency and have regular fares charged during the rest of the day.
The Zoological District Free Days are a “thank you” to all residents in Jackson and Clay County Missouri for supporting the Kansas City Zoo through the Zoological District. Residents of Jackson and Clay County Missouri receive complimentary admission when showing a valid ID with their address in one of these two counties this Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“The Free Days at the Zoo were very popular last year,” said KCATA General Manager Mark Huffer. “On Sunday, zoo visitors will be able to ride The Metro to the Zoo and not worry about finding a parking spot. We hope this makes for an even better Zoo experience for the residents of the Zoological District.”
