All regular Wichita Transit buses are equipped free wi-fi and bike racks.

In the 1980s, and subsequently, now renamed Wichita Transit, the system generally has declined in ridership and capacity, with a brief resurgence of interest at the turn of the 21st century.

BeeLine Express (subcontractor of Greyhound) provides daily bus service north towards Salina, Kansas and west towards Pueblo, Colorado.

Wichita's transit system is smaller in "revenue miles per capita" than comparable cities nationwide.

Rider fares do not bring in enough revenue to support the system, and it relies heavily on subsidies from the federal government and other entities.

[11] Specifically, the KHI's researchers advised that a "grid" bus system (following major streets in straight lines) should replace the city's current "hub-and-spoke" system (routes radiating out from, and returning to, a downtown transit center), and advised that it should make more frequent stops, extend service after 6 p.m., and add Sunday service.

Discussed solutions involved $1.2 million in deferred road construction delayed from 2016 to 2017 (with scheduled 2017 bus replacements moved up to 2016), $500,000 in fuel savings through commitment to a fuel contract, and allocation of $300,000 from the city's permanent reserve fund (the city had $26.9 million in reserves as of July 2015).
