@revtyronenelson Please know that wasn’t a jab at your leadership @revtyronenelson because we are grateful for what you’ve done for GRTC
When GRTC becomes practical I’ll take it. But these once an hour buses are unreliable.
The average annual cost of car ownership recently surpassed $12,000. 💸 The annual cost of riding @GRTCTransit has held steady at $0 since 2020. 🤑 Save hassle, save money, ride GRTC.
@daquanlove Getting better bro. We are trying to remedy that problem every day. We are getting better at it
@DannyPlaugher Hang tough, Danny. You're fighting the good fight. Sorry it's such a rough year.
@DannyPlaugher But you looked so happy and care free this morning.
@_Gonzi I will accept the compliment even though I know it's false.

Had a great time at @RVARapidTransit’s banquet honoring all of us bus stop adopters!
I rode the people’s limousine (the bus) to @RVARapidTransit’s first-ever banquet to celebrate the dozens of Richmonders who have adopted one of @GRTCTransit’s 1,600 bus stops across the region.
@BreRVA @dennistclark Understand. We @PSGrichmond with @RVARapidTransit are working hard on the better buses part too. Lots to do for sustainable, accessible transportation in RVA.
Want to know what’s going on with public transit policy & funding in Virginia’s General Assembly? Next week I’ll be sharing updates on HB285—the Better Bus Stop Bill—and advocates’ efforts to turn back attacks on transit funding for @RVARapidTransit. 🚏 eventbrite.com/e/transit-talk…
