RIPTA - Good News for Warwick !

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 !
