Richards Bus Lines has served the transportation needs of Shenandoah Valley and Northern Virginia since 1944. Started as a shuttle, transporting workers, three times daily, from Luray and Page County to the now closed Viscose Plant in Front Royal, Richards Bus Lines has progressed into a full-service charter and tour company.

Eddie and Sandra Sours took over the company in 1978, from Sandra’s father, and company founder, Marvin Richards. 
Recognizing a need in the region for a full service charter bus company, Eddie began providing limited charter bus service, while still providing plant shuttles for all three shifts at the Viscose plant.

From the very beginning, Eddie took pride in providing personalized service on clean, well-maintained coaches. In those years, he drove many of the charters, maintained the buses, cleaned the buses, and drove the shuttles to Front Royal for all three shifts.

In the next decade, the charter business grew, and Eddie continued to improve his fleet of buses, while at the same time the Viscose plant reduced production until it finally closed in 1989. By the time the plant closed, Richards Bus Lines had expanded and the emphasis of the company had shifted to tours and charter service, rather than the three-times-daily plant shuttles, Richards Bus Lines was running tours and charters all over the United States, in a fleet of a dozen modern motorcoaches.
