Yep, I saw a bunch of used syringes just casually discarded on the sidewalk off Wickenden. A definite biohazard to humans and animals alike.

Same. That bus would have some angry riders.

>the car in the OP is in the wrong for driving the entire length of the road knowing there is no way forward.
Yup. The driver of the car created this problem.

Maybe this is evidence as to why Rhode Island drivers are so terrible lol. (And generally drivers all over the place are selfish and not forward-thinking like the dude in the video)
I would have noticed there was no way forward immediately when I pulled into the street and pulled over in the big gap at 2-5s. Not drive the whole way up to stare down the bus driver just doing his job lol.
Claiming the bus "made him back up 200ft" is pretty insane because he is the one that slowly inched up to the bus knowing very well that someone was gonna have to back up...
Then even after this entitled car driver backs up he doesn't get the whole fuckin way over & sits there half in the center of the god damn street hahaha

Its also apart of the property behind, not the state. I still think its cause of the homeless camps. I doubt anyones gonna say anything, especially if i walk out with a bag full of trash. The amount of discarded needles is disgusting

Screw that Rhode Islanders have unfettered access to the Bay at all times, except for private property. That's not private property

If you want to get your blood flowing a bit, start at Roger Williams Memorial on Congdon St, (near downtown) and walk uphill on Bowen Street. You'll get a feel of all the different terrain of the city, sidewalk, cobblestone, asphalt, and urban trail. When you take a right after the dirt path, you'll be able to see the entire PVD skyline. Depending on the bus/train you take to get to PVD from Boston, you might just be let off at the Memorial.
It is important to know that there is a Roger Williams Park and a Roger Williams Memorial. This Memorial is very close to the downtown, while the park is much farther away, but also worth the trip.

Not a vegan. Also the false equivalency you’re trying to make is fucking hilarious

I find it funny that a vegan is calling out a cultish group of crazies.

I don't think anyone who drives even semi-frequently agrees with you, hence why I don't see a single comment making that argument except for yours.

Oh, interesting! I got takeout from them about 3 weeks ago. I guess they changed their policy.

I don't think Providence has tourist traps. Over priced pasta in Federal Hill is probably the closest it comes.

This is so wild lol. The interpretation is so simple, and the video is pretty explicit.
In no other state would this even be an issue. The self awareness is pretty telling here haha

The bus didn't fuck up lol. It's blocking an intersection and trying to get out of the way.
The car in the video explicitly fucked up. They had a place to pull over out of traffic in the first 6-8 seconds of the video. They instead drove the whole way up the street to the bus who was trying to get out of the intersection lol.
This is so incredibly simple. Only in Rhode Island would this ever be contested I swear lmao
