My favorite part is how the bus kinda fake pulls over at the beginning where you'd assume they see the oncoming car and is gonna just wait 4 seconds for that guy, but then NOPE.

No, it doesn't.

That’s not really an excuse though. Bus drivers operate a large vehicle that can do serious damage. They can’t just wield it recklessness because they had a bad day…

Yes he's signing a year long contract for work. No idea whether he'll wanna stay longer than that! I am also hoping for his sake commuting so far isn't a long term thing, but we're pretty young and not ready to live a suburban life yet. This makes us feel better!!

They have two sets - one starts around 6, the other after 8. We usually reserve a spot for one set or the other. If you reserve a table you’ll likely be seated at a table near where the band is playing.

They're assholes probably because they have to deal with bullshit all day long. I'd probably become an asshole if I were in their position day in and day out, too. Same goes for MBTA operators.

Likely was just the motion of OP hitting the save recording button on the dash cam

Ives and Governor St could easily be turned into one ways (Ives going to Wickenden and Governor going away from Wickenden/ or vice versa). It would solve most of the issues

As much as this sucks for you I'm glad you were a bigger person and put their needs before your own. If it were me, bet your ass we woulda been there all fuckin day. Lol

Yeah it's a bus. I always give buses right of way regardless of the law just out of common niceness. I can't tell how many people are on the bus, so assume it's even just a quarter full. That's like 15 people who have somewhere to be. More important than me going to pv donuts :)

I saw their reply to someone on IG that their lease term ended.

Every restaurant employs people who believe things I don't.
I eat happily at a lot of them and avoid a bunch of em.
Do the math, in the unlikely event that's possible.

RIPTA drivers are assholes. Not all of them im sure, but I can't tell you how many times I've been forced into the middle turn lane because they pull out into the street without even looking. Like the nose of my car is about where the bus driver is sitting and they pull right out.

Reply to $27M grant could finish Providence's bike lane network, but Smiley noncommittal by lestermagnum
Is $27m really enough? I was thinking/assuming any proper road/trail work would be orders of magnitude more expensive. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the scope of the Elorza plan. Is it just painted bike lanes like on Broadway?

Courtland Club Sunday nights. Reserve online with a refundable $20 deposit. Great food and drinks, and the place is small and very intimate. Amazing jazz players. You won’t hear any voices over the music, trust me.

I commuted to Wayland square from westerly RI. Consistently 53 minutes. You might consider westerly as a place to live, cheaper housing, short commute, close enough to NY, BOS, PVD etc.
