GRTC Transit System begins a new daily Hanover route from Mechanicsville’s Park and Ride just off of Route 360 traveling downtown beginning May 24. As reported in the Richmond Times Dispatch the new route will run 3 departures in the morning with 3 returns in the evening. In addition to making travel downtown more convenient for Hanover residents, this expansion of regional mass transit will help reduce traffic congestion and car emissions by replacing some SOV trips.
