10/30/23 - Healthy City: Richmond Public Transit

This summer, the advocacy group R-V-A Rapid Transit released a report outlining the state of public transit in Richmond and several recommendations for improving the service. The report noted that only 26 percent of bus stops in the city have a bench or shelter. The Greater Richmond Transit Company, GRTC, says it plans to at least double that number over the next few years. As part of the VPM News Healthy City series, Transportation reporter Ian Stewart caught up with some riders who talked about their experiences.
