For the cost of a few highway interchanges, Rhode Island could have this instead.
I wish it was easier to get to Gillette Stadium and the stuff around it, so I came up with the idea of running shuttle trains between Framingham and Mansfield to provide regular service to Patriot Place from 3 different MBTA lines. Not sure how feasible it would be, but it'd be nice for me!

You can also now book a single-ticket ride from the NEC to the Downeaster that includes a "self transfer" (aka 'taking the Orange Line') from Back Bay to North Station.
ICYMI: @amtrak.com Downeaster (Boston, MA to Brunswick, ME) is celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2026! They’re currently having a January fare sale! $13 one-way or $26 roundtrip using promo code V530 if you book at least 3 days in advance! 🚆🌊 amtrakdowneaster.com/experiences/...

Just bought tickets for my first King Gizz show(s) and I'm unreasonably excited. Looking at my watch like Milhouse waiting for the year 10,000 until August 19

The $17 million that represents the difference between life and death for transit in RI is 0.1% of Rhode Island's $14,340,000,000 budget.
Let's see if @govdanmckee.bsky.social will shortchange RIPTA once again… 🫠
If he does, then we'll fight like hell to get RIPTA the funding it needs to help keep Rhode Island transit riders on the move. We'll even raise our voices during the gubernatorial election next year! ✊🏻🚌

After a year of trimming its finances to try to stave off job cuts, RIPTA still faces a nearly $14 million budget deficit under its latest financial plan approved by the agency’s board of directors. By @krish-eh.bsky.social rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/12/17/r...

Nuuk, Greenland, population ~20k has a bus system with 10 minute headways most of the day and operating hours from 6am to midnight. Arlington, Texas, population ~400k has a minivan you can maybe get a ride on if one of the 6 seats is available and the driver doesn't have too many stops to make.

America's cool uncle remains undefeated
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Big shout out to the driver of the Pawtucket-bound 72 about an hour ago who performed a DIY queue jump at Silver Spring St. & Smithfield Ave. Also appreciation to the other passenger who said "OH SHIT! THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!"

With no traffic at all, it's still more than 10 minutes faster to take the train from Westerly to Providence. If only anyone on Smith Hill could possibly imagine not driving everywhere, we would have state-run service on this line with hourly frequency.

RI considers its state-owned multi-use paths as recreational assets instead of transportation assets. This absolves them of the responsibility to maintain them in the winter, despite people clearly still using them for transportation, myself included. This is my route to the bus and grocery store.
