Good luck taking public transit to a Kansas City Current game

The Kansas City Current's new riverfront stadium was built with a small, expensive parking lot for a reason: to encourage fans to use other types of transit. But as KCUR’s Savannah Hawley-Bates reports, the city’s public transportation infrastructure hasn’t caught up.

Exciting and eccentric entertainment hits the streets of Lawrence this weekend at the Busker Fest. KPR's Tom Parkinson spoke with producer Richard Renner and the festival's music coordinator, Larry “Tal” Carter.
