Complaints about #RIPTA gathered by pvdstreets.bsky.social described overcrowded buses and the need for riders to use rideshares to supplement cuts and lost service. Several riders said they feared they would lose employment because of the new schedule.
I am proud to support @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social for #Providence mayor. Like Mamdani, I think he balances progressive policy aims with flexible means. I see him as a leader who will focus on the #housingcrisis, be an advocate for #RIPTA, and stand up to the #Trump Regime's assault on our people.

#RI is GUTTING its #RIPTA #transit system. They're ELIMINATING *16* routes, reducing *42* more, because our legislators can't imagine a commute without their car.

With all due respect, governor, your ridiculous budget imbalance in favor of more gridlock on I-95 with RIDOT over sustainable transit solutions with #RIPTA is what will lead to me voting AGAINST you in the '26 primary. Mark my words, this is going to be your undoing in RI.
Rhodies deserve better.
in other far more depressing news the proposed #ripta cuts are here
cuts across the board, from full routes to frequencies to span of service, and all types of routes, from the r line to the 301
very very bad if all of this goes through (i mean, the 1 running every 32 minutes would be a bit of […]
Hey, Rhode Islanders, heads up—RIPTA’s planning service cuts due to a budget shortfall. Public hearings are coming, but details are thin. How do we keep our buses rollin’ without breaking the bank? Shouldn’t we prioritize freedom to move over red tape? #RIPTA #RInews
Last weekend, #RIPTA participated in the Teamsters Local 251 Touch a Truck event where kids and families had a great time exploring our electric buses. RIPTA CEO Chris Durand attended the event with his family, and RIPTA bus operator Elizabeth let kids sit in the driver's seat!

and yes, if you're from Central RI and you cry "but muh F-250 can't coalrun a #RIPTA bus", then too bad, not all of us are rednecks who think going from Central Falls to Westerly in 45 minutes is only doable with a car.

My city is slashing the bus schedule. Imagine what they could and will do to a walking population. #ripta
What Kevin said. Transportation is the largest source of #RhodeIsland's greenhouse gas emissions (37%) and ensuring that #RIPTA is fully funded is probably the most important thing you can do to cut those.
