Just in time for baseball season, the Metro is extending service to Kauffman Stadium along Blue Ridge Cutoff seven days a week.

The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) first extended hours to get fans to the sports complex for Royals night games in 2014. Now the bus service is extending the service even more to make it easier to get to the stadium on the bus.

In addition to the ballpark, 47 offers service to downtown Kansas City, Mo., Midtown neighborhoods, the Country Club Plaza, east side neighborhoods, and Blue Ridge Crossing (see map below).
