About this app

Welcome aboard! The GRTC On the Go app is a whole new way to get around the Richmond region — book on-demand rides in advance for LINK microtransit and CARE paratransit services. It’s the smart, easy, and affordable way to go door-to-door in your community.

With a few taps, book an on-demand microtransit or paratransit ride in the app and our technology will pair you with other people headed your way.

How it works:
Download the GRTC On the Go app.
Book a ride on your phone.
Get picked up at your door or designated pickup point.
The app will tell you when your vehicle is on its way.
Share your ride with others to your destination.

What we’re about:
CONNECTED
LINK Microtransit connects you to your community in designated zones and to GRTC fixed routes (where available). CARE paratransit provides public transportation access to individuals with disabilities who may not be reasonably able to use GRTC fixed route bus service.

SHARED
Our origin-to-destination algorithm matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency, speed, and affordability of a public one.

ACCESSIBLE
All LINK and CARE vehicles are ADA accessible, so everyone can get to their destination with ease.

SUSTAINABLE
Sharing rides reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make our city a little bit greener and cleaner, every time you ride.

all the useful information that could be on this app (bus routes, bus schedules, live tracking) is unavailable and no matter where you are, you are "out of zone" the app, which was previously very helpful and useful, serves no other purpose than taking up memory on my phone. I had to delete it because it was less than useless.

what happened to the bus tracker app? this thing is completely useless. every address I type in is "out of zone" which is weird bc I'm on a bus right now driving past places that are out of zone. totally worthless and it wouldn't be a big deal if the busses ever ran on schedule but they don't so an app to track is necessary.
