User:Shadowrider257/Hampton Roads Transit

Hampton Roads Transit is the transit authority for Hampton Roads, VA. It was formed in 1999 following merger of Pentran and TRT, the first voluntary merger in the country.

HRT serves the cities of Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Smithfield and Williamsburg.

Service
Smithfield is only served by Route 64 which only has three runs each in the morning and another three runs in the afternoon and does not run on weekends or holidays.

Williamsburg is mainly served by Williamsburg Area Transit although Route 121 serves Colonial Williamsburg during peak hours on weekdays.

The cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth are not serviced during after 7 PM or on Sundays. The only Virginia Beach routes that run on Sunday and after 7 PM are those that enter from Norfolk (i.e. Route 20), Route 960 and the seasonal VB Wave routes (Routes 30 & 32). The city of Suffolk is the hardest to access by bus: the only route in and out of Suffolk is Route 962 which does not run at some points in the day. In addition, there is no weekend service.

The cities of Newport News, Hampton and Norfolk are serviced 7 days a week, but end early on Sundays.

Some routes in the city of Norfolk run into the late night-early morning on Sundays.

NOTE: Route lengths are approximate, show only regularly serviced areas and represent only one direction.

Peninsula Service (Routes 100-199)
In 2002, to avoid confusion with routes on the Southside, Peninsula routes were given designations between 100-199. Three routes (1, 2 and 9) were split into two(101 & 114, 102 & 117 and 109 & 120 respectively) and two routes (8 & 18) were combined (118). One route (8A) was given a completely new number (115).
