Yep, they are. The buses start running to the MK at 6:30. So, be out at the MK bus stop by 6:45. This is what I do though....as I board the MK bus, I ask the bus driver which is quicker...walking or the monorail..to the CR. Usually the bus driver will offer to drop me off there on the way...if he can. It's almost as if the driver now feels like he has done something magical for a guest. Sometimes the driver won't be able to do that for you though...so plan accordingly. It is an 8 min walk from the bus to the CR. The buses don't run quite as frequently in the early morning as they do later on.
