Getting around in Richmond, KY

The people in Richmond City rely on their own car when it comes to travel inside, and especially outside Richmond. Previous travelers, as well as the locals, advise future visitors to strongly consider driving their own car to get around in Richmond or to rent one, because the bus service is not very efficient here. However, Greyhound provides connecting routes from Richmond to Lexington and vice versa, twice a day. The taxi services available in the city are not usually the first choice of either travelers or locals, due to the fact that are pretty expensive. The majority of the college students ride their bikes to find their way around in the city, which is not a great option, considering that there are 2 big bypasses and a lot of traffic in Richmond, especially during rush hour. If you're not in a hurry and do not have to travel far from your hotel in Richmond, walking may be the best idea.
