📣 Attention KC bus riders! 💥 We are on DAY 2 of the return of fares, and we want to hear from YOU. The voices of REAL bus riders matter. Tell us your story 🧵⤵️

Thanks for the shoutout! Check out our zine here: heyzine.com/flip-book/06...

This is proceeding as planned! See you at E 11th St and Grand Blvd TODAY at 5:30 PM

💥 As drastic service cuts loom on the horizon, RideKC fares are returning on June 1st of this year. As the Kansas City Bus Riders Union, we believe that none of our neighbors should be left stranded just because they can’t pay to get on the bus. 🚍 🧵⤵️

The KCATA approved its contract with the city of KCMO on Thursday, solidifying devastating cuts to essential bus routes. This transit funding “death spiral” is all too familiar to us as bus riders. How can we prevent this going forward? 🧵⤵️

May Day is an nationwide day of disruption to demand: - workers over billionaires! - ICE out! - a democracy that works for ALL of us! To do that, we are shutting it down with ❌No Work, No School, No Shopping!❌

Thanks to your efforts, we sent hundreds of emails to city council and secured an additional $6 million in funding for buses! While we are thrilled that this money will prevent cuts, it doesn’t fill the entire funding gap that would allow KCATA to maintain full service.

URGENT UPDATE: One-third of KC bus routes are at risk of being cut. We need you to send an email to city council asking them to pass Councilman Bunch's amendment to allocate an additional $6M to the KCATA. bit.ly/kcmofundbuses
