Agreed. I don’t understand why those of us in South Rcihmond can’t have more direct access to Richmond’s West End without have to go downtown and transfer.
We’re encouraged by the powers that be to use public transportation but nothing realistic provided unless you have business in downtown Richmond.
It’s a real shame.

The Richmond’s West End (Henrico) needs to pony up some money to the GRTC.
Long ago the West End fought hard against and attempted to discourage a Bus Stop at Regency Mall. They didn’t want to attract “vagrants” from the city.
If the West End wants MORE public transportation, they should pal up with the City. Chesterfield is somewhat making the attempt at public transportation.
This is an important meeting, even if it does wind up with Henrico finally realizing that it needs to do more than lease the system from Greater Richmond Transit Company. Please make public comments at the July 28, 2008 meeting.
It either saves or removes from one’s choices a viable mass transit.
Although it is also a monopoly.
Henrico County does add money, however it is not a “part” of GRTC, by ownership–although Chesterfield and the city do buy into it. Leasing or whatever it is called is probably more profitable to GRTC, I can’t imagine they even provide the buses they do out of a spirit of community…I do not know the effect of whether the monopoly of GRTC affects GRTC’s bottom-line financial decisions (all of our decisions always). Definitely it would be a shame that the times as they are, with fuel skyrocketing, do not encourage more mass-transit. Would that not make sense, to lessen budget-crunches in our own families, equally with the economic margins of a commercial bus company?
I think so. As far as air quality the Washington, DC buses run for free on high ozone days. For Richmond and Henrico this means that on high ozone days people in easy reach of downtown will have mass-transit, and be served as well as only saving money for the transit provider; but, in the meantime the longer-distance commuters will have to be owners of individual and expensive cars (and pave over the city for parking garages and encourage flooding by runoff).
How can GRTC they pose as a “service,” if, when it would be needed, it is taken away? Excuse the rhetorical questioning, it just makes no sense to eliminate ridership when air, finances and community requires mass-transit options.
