Bus Route Main Max 1

 

I step on at

 Wornall and 67th​​ Terr

the bus rushes between​​ 

stops this​​ early work day

beginning its morning rhythm

63rd​​ and. Brookside

but then slows way down

to​​ let the schedule catch up​​ 

59th​​ and.​​ Brookside

57th​​ and. Brookside

55th​​ and. Brookside

Got a bike? No problem

put it​​ in the rack! We’ll wait

UMKC – Brookside. and 51st

Wheelchair? You’re welcome here

the bus kneels​​ 

extending​​ a ramp of access

the driver​​ gets up​​ 

secures the chair

no one complains

we’ve got the time

no hurry about it

Move on back, people

make room

everyone​​ wants​​ to

get onboard.

Plaza. 47th​​ and. JC Nichols
