Exciting news for North Kansas City and our neighboring river cities!

The City of Riverside, in coordination with Parkville and North Kansas City, has announced the River Cities Express — an official soccer transportation shuttle connecting Parkville, Riverside, and North Kansas City to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Fan Fest in downtown Kansas City.

The shuttle will run during all 18 days of Fan Fest, with a North Kansas City stop at 520 E. 19th Avenue, where riders can connect to a transfer shuttle headed downtown.

This is a great opportunity to help World Cup visitors explore our communities, support local businesses, and make it easier to experience everything happening across the KC region.
