GRTC Transit System needs people throughout the Richmond region to complete a short online survey of proposed names for its future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) overall service in the area. Everyone who completes the survey will be eligible for a random drawing to receive two tickets for VCU Men’s Basketball games on Jan. 7 or Jan. 10.
GRTC, along with the city of Richmond and Henrico County, is preparing to introduce the RVA’s first BRT line along a 7.6 mile corridor from Rocketts Landing to Willow Lawn, in October 2017.
BRT buses will run frequently and make fewer stops, serving 14 stations that offer more amenities than traditional bus stops. To reduce trip times even more, riders will pay for their trip before boarding the bus using off-board payment stations.
GRTC and its partners, representing Henrico County, the city of Richmond, commonwealth of Virginia and several federal agencies, in addition to civic and business organizations, have developed a list of possible names for the BRT service. Now GRTC wants your input about those names.
