    This is actually a pretty good review of the situation up to January, when the transit board had to decide on reinstating fares. Free bus rides in Kansas City need more dollars to continue | Kansas City Star "RideKC buses and paratransit vehicles have been a free ride since March 2020. Now the temporary federal money that made that possible is running out, and local officials are at a loss for who will foot the bill. Might this mean the end of zero fare? That depends on whether the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority can close a $10 million gap with new funding from local, state and federal sources. They have no assurance that the money to keep rides free will be there in 2025. The KCATA made that clear late last year when it raised the possibility of needing to reinstate fares, which led to a groundswell of public support for keeping transit free. But what’s been left out previously is that the KCATA might have had a cushion to assure at least two more years of free fares, had Kansas City’s government lived up to its promise to fully fund its share of the program." A few days later, the board voted unanimously to continue study fare reinstatement. KCATA board votes unanimously for further study on bus fare plan (kmbc.com)
