Use CTtransit's Trip Planner to find your optimal route, check schedules, and track arrivals. Take Note: Always plan to arrive at your bus stop five minutes early. Ride smart!
Bus stops are located every 2-3 blocks along routes and are marked with official bus stop signs.
Before boarding, check the route number. The route number and name are listed on the destination sign. Transit Tip: Give the operator a friendly wave to confirm you want to board.
As the bus approaches, have your fare ready. Please keep exact change in hand, or have your digital ticket open to show the operator. This makes boarding a breeze!
CTtransit buses announce major stops as they approach. While riding, keep track of your location so you don’t miss your stop.
One block before your destination, pull the cord to request the operator to stop. You will hear the announcement say “Stop Requested.”
