The Kansas City Streetcar Authority last week announced it will offer the seasonal higher capacity Saturday mid-day service year-round starting Nov. 2.
This summer, the authority added four streetcars during Saturday service to increase capacity and frequency during peak ridership times as a test-run, authority officials said in a press release.
Now, the authority will continue to run four streetcars from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, increasing service frequency and capacity.
Average Saturday service carries over 10,000 riders, officials said.
To accommodate the service adjustment, Friday and Saturday late night service will end at 1 a.m instead of the current 2 a.m. closing time.
