The Walk-On Advantage

The North Kansas City stop at 520 E 19th Ave is the only Northland location offering both Region Direct and Stadium Direct service. No transfers. No surge pricing. No hunting for parking at a stadium where 4,000 spots will serve 76,000 fans.
Bungalow 1023 sits a five-minute walk away. You wake up, you walk to the bus, you watch Argentina play. That’s the trip.
"Many parking spots will have already been sold through FIFA hospitality packages. KC2026 said only about 4,000 spots will be available for general ticket holders, making public transit even more important." — KCUR, December 2025
