“Coming back from my Maine vacation, my husband dropped me off at work and took the car home so he could enjoy some more time off. That night I hopped on the train to Wickford Junction to get home, and had an easy half-hour ride where I enjoyed watching the traffic from the comfort of the train car.
Travel was a breeze!”
“Riding the train to work makes my day.
I treasure my “train time” to catch up on emails and relax and love the walk to work!”
“Taking the train from Wickford to Providence is a great way to start the day. Stress free, quick, and so easy. I use my time to catch up on local and national news, emails, or listen to music. No more fighting traffic jams. I’ve convinced several friends to give it a try and they are so happy they did.”
“I take the train a couple times a week; parking is easy and the ride is a breeze. While on the train, I can get a little work done
– it certainly beats traffic on Route 4!”
“While visiting for the Fourth of July, we heard about the train service from the North Kingstown Chamber of Commerce. Seeing this as a great opportunity to explore the capital city while in town, we took the train up to Providence from Wickford Junction. Once in Providence, we toured the Statehouse, walked around the Capital district, and grabbed lunch at Sydney Providence. We had a great time in Rhode Island and this service truly added to it.”
“I ride the train three days a week to and from my job at the Statehouse. It’s faster, more comfortable, and allows me to be more productive than driving.
It’s like an extra hour has been added to my day!”
