Reply to comment by iandavid in Beach access for Narragansett town beach as some who doesn’t live in Narragansett? by yeehawkalian

I tried that last year but it took like 2.5 hrs instead of what is a 45 min car ride

Cheaper doesn’t mean faster, unfortunately. It’s a local route, so it makes a bunch of stops along the way. That said, it’s scheduled to take an hour and 20 minutes to get to the beach from Kennedy Plaza, which is longer than driving but not as long as you experienced. Did your bus hit extra traffic along the way?

It’s worth noting that 45 minutes from Providence is also a fairly optimistic drive time during the summer season.
