Try Transit!
SAVE money. SAVE the environment!
Join Transit Titan SM and Ride the bus!
It's so easy to save money and reduce your carbon footprint when you take transit. Riding the bus to work, to shop, or for fun is an easy and economical way to get around the Richmond region! GRTC provides commuters, students, shoppers - just about everyone - convenient, safe, and reliable transportation services that reduce road congestion and air pollution.
Benefits of Transit:
- Economical. Save money by leaving your car at home.
- Eco-Friendly. Reduces your carbon footprint.
- Convenient. Purchase Go Cards, a time-saving swipe card that can be purchased at area retail locations.
- Flexible. Whether you're an Express rider, local commuter, or student, find the service that works best for you.
Go Cards
It's so easy to pick up a Go Card around the Greater Richmond region. Visit the RideFinders Commuter Store at 1013 East Main Street to purchase your $5, $10, or $25 Go Card. Go Cards can also be purchased at over 100 retail locations throughout the Richmond area, including CVS/Pharmacy, Martin's Grocery Stores, and Kroger Grocery Stores. Click here for other Go Card retail locations.
While at the Commuter Store, buy CARE tickets, stamps, or commuter related items.
Bikes on Buses
GRTC has made it easier than ever to ride the bus and ride your bike, all at the same time! All GRTC buses, except coach models, are equipped with front-mounted bicycle racks so cyclists can load their bicycle onto a bus and catch a ride. The racks are easy to use and can accommodate a wide array of bike styles, from a child's version to a fully loaded adult-size bike. This service is free to all riders. Watch a short bike rack tutorial video!
PARK 'N RIDE
Park 'n Ride the bus into downtown. Read the paper. Catch up on work. Or catch up on sleep. Arrive at your destination ready and relaxed. Transit riders save themselves thousands of dollars a year by opting out of stop-and-go traffic, toll-booths and parking garages by the Express bus service. Park 'N Ride lots are FREE and run along our Express service routes to the downtown Business District, so ride into work, without wearing out yourself or your car.
Park 'N Ride lots are a convenient way to travel downtown. Park n' Ride lots are safe, well lit, and easily accessible. To find the closest Park 'N Ride location near you, click here.
