We could not verify a current St. Louis Metro or Kansas City transit fare, because sources conflicted (St. Louis Metro day-pass figures ranged from $5 to $7.50 and bus fares from $1.00 to $2.00), so this page publishes none. We found no Kansas City fare at all. Fares and rules change, so confirm with the operators.
