I take RIPTA every day for a 30+ mile commute. It's fine, and here are some tips to help:

  • Have exact change in $1 bills - the fare boxes don't make change. Alternatively, use the RIPTA Wave app for your fare.

  • Double check to make sure the bus is going in the right direction. You could take the 66 from the airport to downtown, but the 66 going south also stops in the same spot. Ask the driver if they're going to Providence as you get on.

  • As noted, Kennedy Plaza can be unsettling at night. What time are you planning to be there?

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Have a good trip!

My son and I made the mistake with the 66 bus at CCRI! Both buses arrived at about the same time, but we didn’t know there were two, so we just got on the first one that came. Realized the mistake while heading south on 95! Got off at the train station and waited for the bus north! At least there was the train to providence as our backup. 😂
