The Metroflex is an on-demand bus service through KCATA that operates like a taxicab for the same cost as fixed-route service.  Buses travel within a set boundary in both Raytown and Lee's Summit, instead of a specific route.  In some cases, you may get door-to-door service.  To schedule service and plan your trip, give them 24 hours notice by simply calling the Metroflex office.

Share-A-Fare (SAF) is a transportation program that serves people who need door-to-door transportation because a disability prevents them from driving a car on their own, or prevents them from using bus service. The service provides Complementary Para-transit Trips as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act throughout The Metro bus service area, as well as some other transportation services for eligible persons in Kansas City, Missouri. Most people using the program are 65 years old or older, or individuals with disabilities. To join the program, a completed application must be obtained and submitted. If determined to be eligible, the applicant is enrolled. Each program participant receives an ID card. Trips are scheduled by calling at least 24 hours in advance.
