Work crews were on the job earlier this month in preparation for the new GRTC bus transfer station in Downtown Richmond. The new transfer site was once a parking lot at 8th and Clay streets across from the John Marshall Courts Building and the vacated Public Safety Building. The transfer station will replace an older one that was along 9th Street between Marshall and Leigh streets. According to GRTC’s social media, plans are to have the new site serve more routes in order to simplify transfers. Amenities, technologies and lighting will be upgraded at the station.
