Grand River Travel & Transportation
Who doesn’t love buses, trains, and road trips? Well, even if you don’t (for some unfathomable reason) Grand River does!
The Grand River Travel and Transportation channel specializes in road trip time-lapses as well as public transportation videos (real-time and time-lapse) that give viewers a virtual ride on different bus routes and passenger rail lines with a view from the front window of the bus or train; these types of videos are also known as ‘front view,’ ‘cab view,’ or ‘head end’ transportation videos.
Grand River works with staff at bus and rail transportation agencies to film in-service journeys on different bus routes and rail lines to create these videos. Filming is only done on bus or rail services where authorization has been granted by the transportation agency.
Grand River has created a ‘Video Companion’ to accompany each transportation video on the Travel & Transportation channel. Download the video companions by clicking the link below and follow along the journey, quickly switch directions on each transit line, and more.
Grand River Travel & Transportation Video Companions
We are always on the lookout for new public transportation filming opportunities to expand the collection of different public transit videos for the Grand River Travel & Transportation YouTube channel. We have provided some information on our Public Transportation Filming Production Information and Requests page for our viewers and for public transportation service providers that may be interested in allowing filming to occur on the services they operate.

Grand River Minecraft
Grand River has lived in the virtual world of blocks everyone knows as Minecraft since early 2011, in the glory days of Beta. For a time Grand River also operated a Minecraft server called The Watershed where the ‘Watershed Minecraft Adventures’ video series originally began.
Grand River and The Watershed Minecraft server were regular sponsors of The Shaft Minecraft podcast. Grand River was also privileged to attend Minecon 2013 in Orlando, Florida.
The Grand River Minecraft channel hosts Minecraft let’s play video series, adventure map playthroughs and anything else related to the blocky game.
