I'm quite fond of Scituate. It's a great fix for that small town feel but isn't too far from Providence. There are some hidden gems there too (Barden Family Orchard, Martinelli's Farm, Lucky Clover Farm, the farmers market, Scituate Arts Fest, and Famous Pizza, just to name a few)

From what I know the original Trolley routes there was one that went down town and one that went to the amusement park at reservoir....More History than todays commuting items so sorry to interrupt.

If you like arcade type places, check out Electromagnetic Pinball in Pawtucket, lots of cool stuff and the owners are super friendly and knowledgeable

Bristol. Colt State Park, East Bay Bike Path, downtown, historic homes, and the 4th of July celebrations throughout town and the parade. Good restaurants and very walkable.

One of these could be a trolley maybe. Anyway, the yellow is the xanthic line, a bus rapid transit service that connects to places where trains would be nice but too much out of the way. There's XL1 between the two Southern stations connecting to the commuter rail and there's XL2 to the hospital.

Simple. Cheap. And with no historical or environmental obstacles.

Was just reading about how there was an electric trolley line (built in the 1890s) that ran from Newport up to Fall River. They charged riders 5 cents per town (so, Newport to Portsmouth = 10 cents). I bet it was faster than RIPTA!

Was thinking West Warwick (lived there for four years),until I rested with Woonsocket.

Yeah I figured as much, that would make the most sense.

This is cool but there's actually a proposed light-rail system that goes past TF Green and terminates at CCRI, so I think this should cover that base, at least. Would be nice to extend it even further to Main Street East Greenwich.
