GRTC to add four larger accordion-style buses to Pulse line

Every day, 13 Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) Pulse buses transport approximately 7,000 passengers along West Broad Street from Rocketts Landing to Willow Lawn in Henrico County -- and in an effort to satisfy a predicted increase in demand, the transit agency is expanding the line's seating capacity.

GRTC is in the process of adding four 60-foot accordion-style buses to its Pulse fleet, which will be larger than the 40-foot buses which have been used for the Bus Rapid Transit line since it opened in June 2018.

“This means more service, better frequencies and fewer missed buses,” said Henry Bendon, GRTC spokesperson.
