  • But are the Governor’s increased beach fees still in effect? And if so, the beach fee increase should exceed the reduction in the $2.00 RIPTA cash fee (but who else but me pays the full $2.00 RIPTA cash fee? Everyone I see uses discounted or no-cost RIPTA passes). So what’s the point?

    I wonder whether RIPTA will release the ridership numbers for this special day. And who is paying for this RIPTA fee-waiver?

    Will the Governor and his family ride any of the buses? Somehow I doubt it.
