Reply to comment by raindeerpie in Richmond’s Pulse has been a surprise success. Other cities and states are taking notice. by fusion260

Just as popular? Try more popular. I'd head to SP more often if I could park and ride and Willow Lawn.

Yeah, I don't know if the next frontier is a whole new line, but dedicated lane extension all the way down to Short Pump Town Center

i think the bus already goes from willow lawn to short pump. I don't think it is as frequent as the pulse though. does anyone know how popular that route is?

It's a half hour route that takes 45 minutes to get from one end to the other.

It's nothing like Pulse. The combination of fewer stops, real bus stops with seats and covering to protect you from the elements, and more frequent service would be a game changer.

only 15 extra minutes to use the bus is pretty good actually. more frequency and real bus stops would be a huge game changer. that's for every route. our bus stops are practically hidden. most don't even have a sidewalk

It’s a dangerous crossing to get off the Pulse and run across Broad to catch the westbound bus. I love the Pulse and would be ecstatic is it ran to Short Pump.
