I don’t know why it never happened in the past, but I know that the folks currently in RIPTA’s planning department are working on improving signage.

Historically RIPTA hasn’t had the budget to do more than the bare minimum, and it shows in the meager level of service they run. RIPTA could be so much better than it is, but we need the state government to provide the funding to make it happen. If this is something you care about, talk to your state reps about it.
