Alright, so the 34<\/a> went the long and indirect way to Seekonk, let\u2019s see if the indirect-ness is just as bad with its sister route, the 32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So long, Seekonk!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Leaving Seekonk Square, the route turns\u2026.left??? Interesting choice, RIPTA. We then turned down School Street, and eventually the Wampanoag Trail and ooh, we\u2019re express- oh, it\u2019s only until the next exit. That\u2019s sad. Apparently some trips deviate here into the Citizens Bank facility, but this one didn\u2019t. So, moving right along down the Wampanoag Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We turned up onto Pawtucket Avenue, and instead of continuing down, we took a left down a side street. Weird choice, again. From here, we went up South Broadway and turned left down Warren Ave. Then, we followed the same routing as the 34 up Valley Street and Massasoit Avenue, and across the Henderson Bridge and the East Side. However, since a truck was blocking Thayer Street (rendering the bus in such a way where there wasn\u2019t enough space to turn), we detoured down the hill. Soon enough, we were at Kennedy Plaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: It\u2019s more direct than the 34, that\u2019s for sure! And there\u2019s fewer deviations! It\u2019s also a little more straightforward!

The bad: …why does it go left instead of right? There\u2019s no stops in Massachusetts either way, save for Seekonk Square, South Attleboro, and the Pettine Transit Center. Furthermore, why does it go down a random street, or go up South Broadway when it could just go down Veterans Memorial Parkway? Certainly some headscratchers here.

Nearby points of interest: Seekonk Square! There\u2019s also East Providence and the East Side.

Overall, I have to give it credit for not being as awkward as the 34. Yeah, there\u2019s some headscratchers for turns, but it\u2019s not as time-consuming as the 34\u2019s deviations. However, unlike the 34, it\u2019s not too ridden with only 300 daily riders as of 2019.
