The Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation Authority, commonly known as "KRT" is the city bus system for the Charleston, West Virginia, United States metropolitan area.
The tax supported system was founded in 1971 after the Greyhound Corporation and the privately owned Charleston Transit Company ceased intra-city bus service following a strike.
The system ranges throughout the Charleston metro area, from Montgomery, West Virginia in the south east, about 45 miles west to Nitro, West Virginia. All buses centralize on the former Laidley Street in downtown Charleston, which is now known as the Transit Mall and is restricted to buses only.
The KRT also was involved in a Joint Venture with the Tri-State Transit Authority known as Intelligent Transit which provides a link between Charleston and Huntington, West Virginia, but this ended in 2015 due to low ridership.
