Freeway Flyers
FOR LONGER COMMUTES IN FROM THE SUBURBS

Think of a subway system in a large city; an interlocking grid of trains that travel along fixed paths and have stations along the route. Most subway systems are fed by local buses and by high-speed commuter rail or express trains for suburban commuters. Smart Moves is a subway-style system tailored for the Kansas City region — only more cost effective and flexible over the long term. The system has three main components: RAPID RIDERS, FREEWAY FLYERS and LOCAL LINKS.

FREEWAY FLYERS are designed for longer commutes from the suburbs. These comfortable, high-capacity express buses and trains connect the outer suburbs to the system, getting people to work and home again during peak hours. High-comfort, largely non-stop services, such as coaches, commuter rail and airport service as demand requires, are accessed at park-and-ride lots and transit centers.
