it depends on where you live in RVA. The more expensive the area the more bus stops there are. I believe by express GRTC you mean pulse. That goes up + down broad only.

​

GRTC is by far better than the NOVA bus system. It's also free. If you need to be somewhere at a specific time then GRTC isn't great. Also you gotta know where you going, and there are times when its faster to walk. Especially if you have to take multiple.

not gangs. I said nothing about gangs.

More like people trying to rob you. I know people that have died because of gun violence in Richmond. While they it wasn't at a park, it was at night. Really it comes down to isolation. Robbers well look for dark secluded areas.

Some trails have trees that cover them entirely. Where someone can sneak up easily on you and rob you and there'd be no one else around for a good mile or 2. I should also mention rape can happen there too.

gun violence has gone up I don't think this will necessarily happen if you go out to the river , but its important to recognize that it can happen. If you're going out at night with a bigger group people you should be fine.

Again- this has nothing to do with gangs please be safe. Anywhere that's dark and secluded is probably not the best place to go to at night.

you gotta be careful depending. Living in a city gun violence is a sad reality

Having said that,

Scuffletown Park tiny park in the fan in an alleyway with a fish statue, thats pretty pooping. There's general a good crowd of 20-30 year olds.

Bryd Park is very safe. Generally gets quite late at night. Not a whole lot of people but very open area

I would avoid trails, or anywhere with lots of trees.
