I just read about the homeless (nameless, luckless, friendless, hopeless, jobless, witless .. penniless ,etc. ) killed by TWO cars on the corner of Pontiac and Howard Avenues in Cranston.
The last time I checked the Pontiac-Reservoir, I was shocked to see that no buses were scheduled after 7:00 am. How does homeless man get to Eleanor Slater shelter on a freezing cold night ? Not even the homeless go to bed at 7:00 !
In general the RIPTA bus schedules are contemptuous of the needs of working people and the poor. Buses should be running up main streets of Rhode Island major cities until just past midnight.
There is no way for a bus rider to get back to Warwick after 7:30 pm .
I have a theory why nothing much is really done about homelessness: They serve as scarecrows for the ruling class - see where slacking off will get you ! A stern warning to a nation of drudges .
