To make transit easier for bicyclists, all GRTC buses are equipped with easy to use front-mounted bicycle racks so cyclists can load their bicycle onto a bus and catch a ride.

All express passengers must take a seat. No standing is permitted on any express route.

Downtown Transfer Station
Downtown Transfer Station
The Downtown Transfer Station opened to passengers in September 2023, launching a new era of passenger amenities for Richmond Region transit riders. With real-time destination boards, powered shelters, public Wi-Fi, and a variety of seating options, it has never been easier or more comfortable to catch your GRTC bus.
Funded through local, state, and federal resources, the station is GRTC’s first dedicated off-street downtown transfer hub. Its completion was made possible through the support of the City of Richmond Office of Equitable Transit & Mobility, the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, and many other valued partners committed to improving public transit.
