## Resource

Kansas City’s buses are officially charging again—$2 per ride, $62.50 monthly—with cash gone and digital payments only. To ease the blow, United Way and the city are handing out 20,000 free one-day passes via nonprofits, starting next week, targeting those who can’t afford transit to reach vital services. But nonprofits are already stretched thin, unsure how to distribute help fairly amid rising costs. Qualified low-income riders can apply for discounts at the East Village Transit Center with ID and proof of income. The transit authority expects $11–15 million in annual revenue. While relief is coming, the transition hits vulnerable riders and aid groups hard right now. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
