I hate RIPTA !!! Sorry to its fans!
But, this is the second time I have had issues with this 'WONDERFUL' transportation service.

I bought this paper card called the 15 ride pass. Then I got on a bus that arrived at 3:11pm, which was 4 minutes earlier then it was suppose to come.

Apparently when you have the 15 ride pass a trip back is free. So the bus driver says do you want an outbound ticket "ITS FREE" i'm like "i guess".

So i get to my seat and look at the extra ticket I was given and I can only use this 'transfer ticket' its called until 5:11pm, meaning it expires in 2 hours.

Then I look at my paper bus scheduel there's a bus at 5:10, but it skips the stop that i need to get home.
The next bus is at 5:15 that does go home, but since my STUPID BUS arrived EARLY (3:11pm) instead of ON TIME (3:15pm) That bus ride home is no longer free!

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY RIPTA REALLY!!

Let this be a lesson to all of you its better to be ON TIME rather then late OR EVEN EARLY !!!!
