#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.

RIPTA #RiderOfTheWeek Devin rides the bus from Central Falls to downtown Providence, where he runs errands like repairing his glasses and getting a haircut at Urban Fellow. 🚌 His tip for new riders? Thank your driver when you exit the bus!
