Happy birthday! 🥳🥳

[GRTC @GRTCTransit]

Happy Birthday Route 111 @ChesterfieldVa! One year ago, this new 30-minute local bus route opened, serving people between Food Lion N Chesterfield & @johntylercc Chester. Despite opening in a pandemic, ridership exceeds goals, carrying 163 riders on weekdays & 152 on Saturdays.

Would you prefer more frequent bus service on existing @GRTCTransit routes (Ridership) or less frequent service to new corners of RVA (Coverage)? 🚌💨 Learn about both expansion options from @humantransit & share your feedback at a @PlanRVA meeting on March 4th from 5-6pm. 🤷🏻‍♀️🚏🤷🏾‍♂️

Meet Walter Watson, a vet going to the VA waiting on hourly service on the 1C this morning in 45 degree weather.

@MZStrat @rvadotra @AmtrakVA @VaRailXpress Looking forward to the day that @AmtrakVA gets trains from Main Street Station to Staples Mill in the same time (if not faster) than a private vehicle.

👀 A Pulse, a 1 and a 5 bus could come every 10 minutes if we choose RIDERSHIP as a region. What do you think?

SAVE THE DATE! Virtual Public Meeting: GRTC Regional Public Transportation Plan
March 4, 2021
5PM – 6PM
Review two alternative concepts for expansion in the Richmond region, where one concept prioritizes coverage routes & another prioritizes ridership.

@rvadotra It could be a combination of things! For the 10-minute headways, it probably means more buses, and keeping GRTC zero fare would also mean faster boarding. I believe they are also looking at rubber boarding platforms, too.

Welcome back to Richmond, @FLOTUS 🇺🇸

[GRTC @GRTCTransit]

Attention riders! This afternoon, Dr. Jill Biden @FLOTUS is visiting @VCUMassey Downtown. As she arrives and leaves, there may be brief holds of bus service in the area creating minor service delays. Thank you for your patience. Customer Service: 804-358-4782

@AlexisCBaseball @yitgordon @LevarStoney @RVAdirt @RVARapidTransit @AnnCan2020 @rvadotra @VaTransitAssoc @VirginiaDRPT @GRTC_CEO @ActivateVA Contact your City Counselor or Board Supervisor about public-private partnerships. Most will need to discuss codes and public right of way with the Dept. of Public Works first.

[Student Transit Collective @transit_student]

@amyinthe8th Agreed! They don’t contribute a fair share as-is and haven’t in forever. We also don’t get benches and shelters when we take money off the table since they are all so costly 🤑

[Student Transit Collective @transit_student]

Would you believe that @LevarStoney had Richmond slash their GRTC contribution in half last year and expects the surrounding counties to pick up the tab? 😱

[Wyatt Gordon @yitgordon]

No shelter, no bench, not even a sidewalk! 😩 This is the state of bus stops along Richmond’s busiest bus route—and a ❄️ route at that! We need to invest in the safety, dignity, and comfort of our public transportation & its riders. “Amenities” are necessities. 🚏🚌
