Buses Rhode Island
There are many different ways you can
travel to Rhode Island, but traveling by bus
seems to be one of the local favorites.

to also get to experience all of the other
sites along the way. Peter Pan Bus lines are
one of the long distance bus services that

Greyhound has been
one of the most reliable forms of
transportation for the past 50 years gaining
most of its popularity from the younger
generation with little money to spend on
airfare. You can reach Rhode Island from
pretty much any of the 50 continental states
using this bus system. The earlier you
reserve your tickets the less fare you are
also charged. If you advance purchase your
ticket, it is possible to travel from one
side of the U.S to the other for less than
$200! That’s a huge cut in ticket price when
you think of the cost of airline tickets
from the same destinations. Greyhound has
over 3700 different locations throughout the
U.S. and can drop you off in 5 different
locations in Rhode Island. The stops in
Rhode Island include Middletown, Newport,
Portsmouth, Providence, and the TF Green
Airport.

Rhode Island Public Transit Authority
