• How much is Kansas City charging for World Cup stadium transit? A lot less than other cities (kcur.org) — Lenexa residents will be able to catch special World Cup “region direct” buses from Lenexa City Center to Kansas City’s FIFA Fan Festival for just $5 a day or $50 for the whole tournament. From June 11 to July 13, frequent shuttles will link metro hubs, the airport, and Arrowhead Stadium, offering a cheaper alternative to high parking prices and East Coast transit rates.
