KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Due to an increase in people using the KC Streetcar, the KC Streetcar Authority has extended the hours of operation.

Starting Monday, weekend and weekday hours will change to the following:

  • 6 a.m. - 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday
  • 6 a.m. - 1 a.m. Fridays
  • 7 a.m. - 1 a.m. Saturdays
  • 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. Sundays
