RICHMOND, Va (WTVR) – To the Bottom and Back has canceled services again this weekend due to low funds. This will be the second weekend Richmonders do without. The bus postponed routes last weekend for the same reason. The Bottom and Back service released a statement on their Facebook page last week stating:

“As you all may know, 2BNB operates off Donations from the public and private sectors! Because of declines in donations this summer, we will not be running this weekend! We are sorry for any problems you incur! We will resume as soon as donations increase!
Thank you for all your support!”

The two most recent post on their page state:

“2BNB is still trying to raise funds! Thank you all for your donations last week and please keep them coming! Every dollar helps! www.2bnb.org/donate.”

and

“Again let us say Thank you for all the Donations today! Our goal is closer but still a ways away! Help us reach our goal of $5000 or more! Every dollar helps reach it! Thank you!”

To the Bottom and Back Bus is a non profit public transportation service providing rides from the Fan district to the Shockoe Bottom Area.The service was developed to deter people from driving drunk along the popular stretch of Richmond.
