Nice and clean city. We like to come here for fire festivals on commuter rail from Boston. Very convenient route destination. It takes just 1 hour and 15 min to get to Providence from South Station in Boston by train. Not to mentions that the entire weekend pass is only $10 per person. Overall the city is clean, has nice buildings and restaurants. There are not many people outside, not comparable with Boston, but during fire shows there are huge crowds. Of course there are some downsides, there are many junkies and homeless people in the downtown, but overall all the people are friendly.

A very small and easy to navigate station that has connectivity to the rest of Providence through RIPTA bus routes. This station was very clean, quite beautiful, and decent views from outside the station! Overall, it's a very nice station, with a Dunkin' branch should you need refreshments!

Tracks and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. Elevators are spacious and smooth. Staff is helpful. There are plenty of arrival/departure boards so you don't have to fight when it's busy to get close enough for a look. It would be nice to have a shaded/sheltered area on the outside (statehouse side) to wait for rides. Otherwise I find this station to be very pleasant.

A small neat hassle-free train station, that provides you with pretty much everything you’d need at a train station. There’s a nice cafe that serves pretty high quality snacks and beverages, vending machines with all the standard take-aways, and a small but pretty clean seating/waiting area. The best part of course is it’s location - it’s bang in the center of town, 5 mins walking distance from the state House and providence mall, and short 5-10 mins cab ride to any downtown spot.

Get there early, parking in the small garage fills up early. If you are trying to find parking in a hurry and cost past the 5 hour limit isn't an issue, try Providence Place Mall right down the street.

Amtrak.

When there is a time change like the one in spring moving forward does your ticket have the right timeframe

Suzette Tingley | Mar 9, 2022
Marc Ebuña | Mar 9, 2022

I assume you're asking about Amtrak since that's the only train here where your ticket is for a specific train. If so the answer is yes - the times of the train when you made the booking IS the time adjusted for Daylight Savings. No need to compensate. Just show up at the time on the ticket - ideally 5 minutes before so you have time to get down to the platform to board. The time on the ticket is the scheduled departure time. If the train arrives before that, the train will leave right on time.

The price depends on time of the day, demand and availability. Your best bet is to check the Amtrak.com website or download the Amtrak app and check the Acela ticket price for the day you need it. This is exactly how I planned all my trips and was able to budget accordingly. I hope this helps you!
