Take a bus to the airport, now seven days a week

The Metro says you asked for it, so they’re giving you daily bus service to the airport.

The service is meant to provide an alternative to taking a cab or paying for parking, and it also gets people who live in Midtown to work at airport jobs.

It begins Sunday, March 31. The Metro’s 129-Boardwalk/KCI route will offer service between downtown and all airport terminals every day. The route previously only offered service during the weekdays, while a MetroFlex route allowed customers to call and schedule trips at some other times.

On weekdays, 129 trips travel from the 10th & Main MetroCenter to the airport hourly, with additional trips from downtown ending at Boardwalk Square MetroCenter. All weekend trips on route 129 serve KCI. The 229-Tiffany Springs MetroFlex is being replaced by regularly scheduled fixed-route service on 129, 230 and 231.
