Passenger Trains > Providence, R.I. airport connection questionDate: 07/24/16 06:20 Providence, R.I. airport connection question Author: ronald321 Does anyone know the best way to get from the Providence airport to the Amtrak station to catch an Acela (not a commuter train).
Is taxi the only option? Date: 07/24/16 06:50 Re: Providence, R.I. airport connection question Author: pennsy3750 Taxi is one option, I'm sure there's probably also a bus.
You could make your way to the airport train station, and use MBTA to get into Providence (the airport is in Warwick) to catch up with Amtrak. Definitely check the schedule in advance, however, as there is not a huge number of trains south of Providence.

MBTA schedule from the airport station to Providence station is limited, but shown here: http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/?route=PROVSTOU Looks like RIPTA bus service is also available to Kennedy Plaza from the airport. It is not very far to walk from Kennedy Plaza to the Amtrak station. Having said all that, I usually travel with significant luggage (tools), so would be inclined to just take a taxi...especially if it's a one-time connection and not very far by taxi.

I called and there is hourly service between the airport and the Amtrak station and the cost is $11.75 The trip takes about 35 minutes. This works for me. Thanks, again.
