Bus from airport

Can anyone confirm that there is a free bus, #229, that runs hourly from MCI to downtown? And recommend somewhere to watch SB near Hotel Indigo? Thank you

Regarding the free bus, there is indeed a bus service called the #229, but it is not free. The #229 is a public bus route operated by the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) that connects Kansas City International Airport (MCI) to downtown Kansas City. It runs every hour, but there is a fare associated with the ride, so you will need to pay for a ticket. Be sure to check KCATA's website or the airport’s ground transportation page for current schedules and fare information.
