History

Public transit in Richmond began with horsecars in 1873, with the Richmond City Railway Co. In 1889, the horsecars were replaced with streetcars, which in turn were replaced by buses in 1938. [2] In early 2022, buses were installed with translation devices, in order to better accommodate riders for whom English is not their primary language. [3] Later that year, a driver shortage forced the agency to reduce weekday operating hours temporarily. [4] At the time, Saturday service continued from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., however, as of September 2023, Saturday service has been eliminated, while weekday service has returned to normal.

Service

Roseview Transit operates 6 regular weekday bus routes on a pulse system with five routes serving the Municipal Parking Garage at 15 past the hour and four routes departing there at 45 past the hour. [5]

Hours of operation for the system are Monday through Friday from 6:15 A.M. to 5:45 P.M. There is no service on Saturdays and Sundays. Regular fares are $1.75. [6]
