Take transit to the Plaza lighting ceremony
Taking the bus is a great way to avoid the traffic jams and garage queues at the Country Club Plaza lighting ceremony. The KCATA will be running extra MAX service, every 15 minutes, between 4:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Park-and-ride lots are located at 3rd and Grand in the River Market and 74th and Wornall in Waldo. MAX will be diverted from its regular Plaza station, and stopping at 47th and Main Streets instead.
Other buses also serve the Plaza, but will be running on reduced holiday schedules. The #51-Broadway bus runs once an hour from the park-and-ride lot at Ward Parkway mall, 89th and State Line Road, or the 10th and Main Transit Center. The #57-South Oak runs once per hour from 3rd and Grand.
