There are also no trains to/from Wickford Junction on the weekends, or late on weeknights. The schedule is hostile to anyone not commuting to a 9-5 job, and misses a lot of recreational use potential.

I’m from the area and that’s been the biggest complaint this entire time. Just run trains for big events to Boston, even for commuting it’s tough if you’re not the exact 9-5 commute.

The last train departing South Station at 11pm is the stupidest thing... no opportunity to stay late for a sports game or concert, unless you leave early and pray you make that last train

Exactly. I used to take this to Boston 2x a week but the schedule changed with COVID. It’s a great idea but not user friendly. I think if this ran on weekends a lot more people would take it to the airport or providence for events like waterfire.
