Service Changes Effective January 25, 2015
Listed below is a preview of service changes that will begin on Sunday, January 25, 2015.
LOCAL ROUTES
GRTC Transit System will make changes to the following schedules:
•
6 Broad St – service extended until 2am (Monday-Saturday)
•
18 Henrico Gov’t Shuttle – minor schedule updates (Monday-Friday)
•
24 Crestwood/Westbrook – minor schedule updates (Monday-Friday)
•
37 Chamberlayne – service extended until 2am (Monday-Saturday)
•
62-63 Hull St/Midlothian – Hull St/Midlothian will be split into different route names/numbers as follows:
Old Route
62 Hull Street
63 Midlothian
New Route
Replaces Route Code
60 Hull St/Chippenham Mall
62 CM/CS/CW
62 Hull St/Southwood
62 HS/HW
68 Broad Rock/Walmsley
62 BD
61 Midlothian/Crutchfield
63 CWB
63 Midlothian/Chippenham Square
63 CSQ
The overall level of service on these routes will remain very close to the previous schedules. Even though
they are being split with new names and numbers, they will serve the same destinations and routing as the old
routes. The main reason for splitting the routes is to make it easier for customers to see which bus goes
where on the street and in the public timetables. Routes 60-62-68 will be on one public timetable/schedule,
and Route 61-63 will be on another public timetable/schedule.
•
70-71 Forest Hill Stony Pt/Jahnke – Forest Hill/Stony Pt and Forest Hill/Jahnke (Spring Rock Green) will
extend routing on Saturdays. Route 70 will operate to Stony Point Shopping Center following the current
Monday-Friday routing (on Sundays, it will turn around at Thompson/Huguenot schools). Route 71 will
operate to Spring Rock Green and the Stonebridge shopping center following the current Monday-Friday
routing, but it will not operate through the Glenway/Wainwright route on Saturdays. On Sundays Route 71 will
turn around at Chippenham Hospital as it currently does.
•
72-73 Ruffin Rd/Ampthill – schedule updates (all days)
•
