The Official Providence Party Bus is Your New Best Friend

The Achilles Heel of any great night out is getting home. In warmer months Providence is totally walkable, but this time of year even an otherwise short walk from one Downcity bar to another feels like an endless, frigid slog across the ice plains of Hoth. As for schlepping from the Harry’s on Federal Hill to the Harry’s on North Main on foot just to say you did it (Louis CK would call that a "Bang Bang")? Fughetaboutit.

Enter the Official Providence Party Bus which is a legit GMC school bus that’s been refitted to cart you and your friends all over town for a safe night of poor decision making – we’re looking at you, guy who thinks the ladies love when you sing “Your Body is a Wonderland” at karaoke.

The party bus makes eight loops every Friday and Saturday night (as well as select long weekend nights, like New Year’s Eve) consisting of 12 stops from the West Side to Wayland Square. Additional amenities include complimentary iPhone chargers, bottled water at a reasonable buck a pop and the comfort in knowing that at least you aren’t as drunk as that guy two seats up. Yeesh. $3 one way, $8 to ride all night. 7pm-3am Fridays and Saturdays.
