In response to "let's poll about public transit. how much does it cost where you live? has it gone up recently?" by amanda jones, now 100% summer-commute free

My pass is a free work benefit (mega-score), but normally it's $2 each way, anywhere in the state.

So, Newport -> Providence = $2.
Providence -> slightly elsewhere in Providence = $2.

We need transit zone fares so badly, it's insane. The bus trip from Newport is less than the toll to go over the bridge in Newport.

(I think they are afraid to raise rates because many of the in-city bus patrons get their passes from state assistance. The commuters pay cash.) - TFox Aug 19, 08:07
