The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority has released its annual summer schedule, which will take effect tomorrow.

First the good news for the sun seekers:

Daily busses to First and Second Beaches in Newport begin on Route 61; daily service to Fort Adams Park in Newport begins on Route 62; and Route 67 will be extended to the Cliff Walk in Newport.

Several routes are being canceled for the season, however, such as the 6:05 a.m. Saturday outbound trip at 50 Douglas Ave. and the 77 Benefit/Broadway 7:19 a.m. inbound on Sunday.

Still to come -- "Beach Bus" 7-day-a-week express buses from the following points will run from July 1 to Aug. 11: Woonsocket Depot, Cranston City Hall, Central Falls (400 Dexter Street), Pawtucket Transit Center and North Providence (Tim Horton's) run to South County Beaches. Fare is the regular bus fare. Please see Rte. #66 (URI/Galilee) schedule for details.
