The Kansas City Public Service Company was a public transit operator in Kansas City, Missouri in the 1940s.
Streetcar operations in Kansas City began as horsecar operations in 1869 and electricification after the 1880s.
Kansas City acquired 184 PCC streetcars after 1941, but streetcar operations ceased by 1957. Over the history of streetcar operations, there were 25 streetcar lines in Kansas City. Some of the PCC cars (29) were later acquired by the Toronto Transit Commission. One car, ex-TTC 4752 is now located at Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista, California.
