Bus Rapid Transit Due in October 2017
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2014
GRTC, along with the City of Richmond and Henrico County, is preparing to introduce RVA’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line along a 7.6 mile corridor from Rocketts Landing to Willow Lawn, in October 2017.
BRT buses will run frequently and make fewer stops, serving 14 stations that offer more amenities than traditional bus stops. To improve trip times, riders will pay for their trip before boarding the bus, using off-board payment stations.
GRTC will unveil the name of the BRT service, logo and vehicle design in Spring 2015.
