Maybe I'll start a thread for records keeping. After the cuts to @ripta.com this 22 is the only bus we can take to get my kid to school on time in a reasonable way. But even then it's usually so late now my kid is still late to school. This will be the case today

Rhode Island’s public transit authority, RIPTA, has been making headlines lately. Proposed service cuts, angry riders, an embattled CEO, and debate over where to locate Providence’s central bus hub.

I was talking to someone while standing at the PVD Streets table at the Brown St Halloween party Friday. She uses RIPTA RIDE as her transport. After a while she asked “did you get politically involved instantly when you moved here”.
Learn fast, advocate for your neighbors. We deserve better. 🤷🏼♀️

For now we could use more mid-day & weekend service on RIPTA 24L!

Wish we had visionary leaders who made fare free lines in Rhode Island. Instead we have @govdanmckee.bsky.social who wants to kill RIPTA by slowly bleeding it dry through service cuts.

Thanks a lot @govdanmckee.bsky.social for making it even harder to visit South County on weekends by transit. I’d have to take RIPTA Route 66 from Providence to URI Kingston and then try to book a Flex On Demand 203 ride to continue onwards to Wakefield. It’s not even available right now!😪

Please repost this y'all. Public transportation is essential for a city to function. Even as someone who rarely uses RIPTA, I empathize with those who rely on it. Shame on you, @govdanmckee.bsky.social for harming the people you're supposed to represent. We gotta vote this guy out
Today we distributed hundreds of stories to the RIPTA Board of how @govdanmckee.bsky.social cuts are making life miserable for riders.
Continue to tell your stories and we’ll continue amplifying them!

Went to the Save RIPTA retreat earlier today to talk about strategies for rebuilding our transit system and it’s helpful to be around other people working for the same thing at a time where good things are just being decimated all over.

Here at the Save RIPTA Retreat in Providence to debrief the 2025 legislative session and start planning campaign strategies for 2026! The coalition will keep pushing for proper funding streams for RIPTA with hopes of restoring the service cuts. Transit is essential! 🚌🌊⚓️✊🏽 @pvdstreets.bsky.social

Without the advocacy work of the Save RIPTA Coalition, coalition partners, and riders, the service cuts would’ve been worse. We will continue to fight for better transit!

Taking a caregiving break transit trip to destress, yet I’m stressing about how RIPTA service cuts have impacted so many riders. Waited 55 MINS for a bus after missing one (it used to come every 35 mins)🫢

It looks like @ripta.com has cut service to more routes than previously announced. The 71 isn't listed on the service change page but its weekday frequency has been cut from every 40 minutes to every 70 minutes.. How many other "unaffected" routes have had unannounced changes?

Housing and transit go hand in hand. I hope RI government finds money to find and expand RIPTA too.
