According to the Wednesday,1/30 RIPTA Passenger/Destinations e-newsletter, the monopoly has designed a 6.2 acre annex building on Elmwood Avenue in Providence, west of the existing facility.
By the way, on whose money does RIPTA dream of doing this work? The state of RI and Providence Plantations is in debt by $500 million. Nevertheless, the RIPTA representative told me Pawtucket secondary school bus service was being cut for financial and logistical reasons.
Allow the taxpaying public to recheck RIPTA priorities...my two teenage sons, who live three miles from Shea High, and several of their friends, cannot get proper bus rides home from school, but the monopoly thinks it has money for a building addition?
Someone at RIPTA is being deceptive. A RIPTA representative told me that many bus routes are not profitable. Therefore, RIPTA is not a monopoly.
For an organization making no profit, RIPTA sure seems to do well from the public tax trough.
