In a partnership with Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC), PAT provides express service to Downtown Richmond and any other destinations accessible by GRTC. As of June 2009, in addition to the service to Richmond, Blackstone Bus Service offers and express route that travels from Blackstone, VA to Southside Virginia Training Center (just outside Petersburg).[1]
