Reply to comment by Unusual_Letter61 in Bristol vs East Greenwich vs Any others I should consider? by Many-Froyo9699

That’s not necessarily true. A train to NYC from Barrington requires driving into Providence and then good luck parking there. Same story from Bristol, not such an easy process getting to the train. From East Greenwich you have Kingston Station for trains to NYC or Boston, with an easy drive to the station & plentiful parking.

Half hourly bus from Bristol and Barrington to PVD station so - driving not "required."

No offense, but I don’t think anyone wants to take a half hour bus ride into Providence before their 3 hour train ride. Especially if someone is looking for a house specifically to be close to a highway and train stations… when there’s plenty of more preferable options to recommend (i.e. Kingston Station).

Ever tried it?

What makes a half hour bus ride so much worse than a 25 minute car ride plus finding and paying for days of parking?

Oh I don’t know… maybe the fact that you can get in your car & go when you’re ready, on easy nice backroads & your car will be ready to go when you arrive back. Versus being ready to go, then having to wait 15-25 minutes outside in the freezing cold for the bus… dealing with people coughing & sneezing all over you the whole way. Then when you arrive back on the train you better hope it coincides with the bus schedule, otherwise you’re waiting outside in the freezing cold in Kennedy Plaza (the gem of the state 🙄) for another half hour in the freezing cold with panhandlers & cigarette smokers surrounding you… only to Uber home because you’re bus never showed up.

Gee, I just can’t figure out why someone would recommend to someone looking to move to RI why an easy backroad drive to the train versus a hellish bus ride to Kennedy Plaza would be a preferred option.

Take a lap, your goofy ass makes no sense.
