RIPTA changes some schedules, routes

Buses and trolleys change to their winter schedules tomorrow so be aware of a few different arrival and departure times and slightly different routes.

The changes are temporary; the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority makes schedule changes three times a year.

Route 51/Charles Street will begin running all day, and will be consolidated with Route 79/Columbus.

Route 80/Armstice Boulevard will be rerouted to Memorial Hospital and Columbus Avenue on a new schedule. It will also be consolidated with the old Route 73 bus, which has been renamed Fairlawn/CCRI, and will have a continuous route between Pawtucket and Lincoln.

Some trips on the Smithfield, Dexter/Lincoln Mall, Elmwood/Auburn/Airport, Dyer/Pocasset and North Scituate lines are being discontinued.

Services are being expanded on the Admiral/RIC, Providence/Newport, Branch Avenue and Broad Street lines.

Changes re being made to other routes, as well.
