I would sell my car immediately if there were more efficient bus routes to the west end/Innsbrook area where I work. So many people work in this area - why does it require 2+ transfers and 30 minutes of walking to take the bus from northside to Innsbrook (a 15 minute drive)?

For sure- I don’t know why cities always have to choose between making an efficient north to south or east to west bus route. We can have both!! In Austin, it was hell going North to South by bus, while here I find the 20 route really good (when it’s running…) but nothing efficiently going east/west unless you’re doing pulse, which I also know has issues.

Richmond wants to but does that have control of the GRTC board the counties do but it does sound like the surrounding counties are softening on having public transportation

That’s helpful to know, thanks!

My 15 minute car commute would take 1 hour and 30 minutes if I were to do a combination of walking and taking the bus. That's in a best case scenario and could be longer with delays.
