TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Transportation is conducting an online survey to better understand existing and future intercity bus system needs in the state and encourages everyone to participate.

“Information from this survey will help identify where changes can be made to provide the best intercity bus service possible,” said Stephanie Watts, KDOT Transportation Planner.

Intercity buses carry passengers over long distances with generally only one stop location per city. Currently, intercity buses operate 24 hours a day within Kansas and cover 1,400 route-miles with stops in 21 cities across the state.

The survey is part of a study to gather data, identify needs and develop ways to improve intercity bus service in Kansas. KDOT is responsible for issuing federal subsidies for intercity bus service.
