#RiderOfTheWeek Stuart feels at home using transit to explore his new life in #RhodeIsland. Growing up in New York City, he didn't learn to drive until age 30 - and that's how he likes it! He traded in his keys for a bus pass which he uses to get to work and favorite restaurants.

What's life like without a car in Rhode Island? Just ask Markus! Whether he's commuting to work, checking out a new restaurant, or thrifting at his go-to spots, this former car-owner relies on RIPTA service to get him everywhere he wants to go. Happy #WeekWithoutDriving, Markus!

Today was disheartening. It will be a moment that I’ll always remember. As a daily rider, I sympathize w/ the challenges that riders will experiencing statewide. I am not going anywhere and will work hard to keep moving transit forward for RI. (Strictly my personal opinion, not a RIPTA statement).
