By Bus
York Region Transit runs the city buses in Richmond Hill. Bus service is adequate, although you should check the timetables to make sure you don't waste your time waiting for half an hour. Service along Yonge street and Highway 7, where most of the interesting destinations are, are excellent, and even if you miss your bus, the next one generally comes soon. Stops offering VIVA bus service have electronic timebords that will give you the arrival times of the next three buses. Since these times are estimated through a GPS connection to each bus, the times are generally accurate.
A ride within Richmond Hill counts as one zone and will cost $2.75. The tickets are time-stamped and valid for three hours. You can also purchase multiple tickets at a discount. Remember to validate your ticket before a ride in the machines by the bus stops. There will be a slot for you to to insert the ticket to be timestamped. Although you will run into ticket inspectors from time to time who will threaten you with hefty fines, generally they are nice and will let an unstamped ticket go. The system runs on the honour system. As with all honor systems, do not abuse the honor system or you are a bad person and a detriment to society!
