Attention bus riders! You can now ride the bus to visit the Kansas City Zoo. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA), the # 53 Armor-Swope Park route added the Zoo to its stops between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays and 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekends. "KCATA bus service to the Zoo's front door is perfect for our guests and employees who use public transportation. It's also a great green option to aid us in our commitment to conservation," commented Randy Wisthoff, Executive Director/CEO of the Kansas City Zoo. For an added green alternative, buses have a bike rack for those guests who want to bike to the Zoo and take the bus home or vice versa. The Zoo has bike parking racks in front of the new Zoo Learning Center. Check out www.kcata.org for details.
