RIPTA To Run Holiday Schedule On Thanksgiving

All Rhode Island Public Transit Authority buses will run on a Sunday/Holiday schedule this Thanksgiving, so plan ahead if you plan to use public transportation on Thursday. Regular service will resume on Friday.

On the holiday, all RIPTA offices and ticket windows will be closed, including the photo ID and ticket sales offices at Kennedy Plaza. Offices will reopen at 7 a.m. on Friday.

Buses will run less frequently on a Sunday/Holiday schedule, so check your route before heading out. All schedules are available on the department's website.

On Thursday, the statewide RIde program will only run ADA trips, and no flex services will run. The flex reservation line and RIde lines will not be staffed.

With many students away for the holiday, flex service at the University of Rhode Island will be limited on Friday. Regular service will resume on Saturday.

The Walmart Cranston Shopper, which usually operates on Thursdays, will run on Wednesday this week.
