A front page article by Ralph Busby in the Jan.14 Warwick
Beacon -" New RIPTA routes to enhance city service - " reports
good news for Warwick's bus riders : after 35 years of public
transportation inflexibility, a recognition that " things need
to change dramatically ".
With an aging population, all Rhode Island should want
to support RIPTA efforts to improve, in every which way, public
transportation here. We just can't have a half a million senior
citizens driving around in cars all day ! It ain't SAFE !
Although I have a valid drivers license -and an excellent
driving record - I choose not to own my own car. I share Ralph
Nader's view of this twentieth century nemesis.( What can
be more un-American than car hating ? )
So if I get people like myself elected to high office,
you'll all be enjoying the benefits of socialized medicine in
your old age AND be riding the bus to the pharmacy .
One suggestion for RIPTA service in Warwick : Why
is downtown off limits for riders after 8 o'clock at night
and completely off limits on Sunday ? ( downtown Providence )
Forget all that fuss
Just take the bus !
