Reply to comment by Locksmith-Pitiful in RIPTA is taking a public survey on how to update the bus stops for the Thayer Tunnel. by Ristray

You may not realize it, but there's a hill inside the tunnel as well. When you are heading toward Thayer, the bus is going uphill the whole way.

The incline is not as steep as outside the tunnel, but it's a long slog with nothing nice to look at.

I've biked the tunnel. No need to pedal coming from Thayer. Whole other story in the other direction.
