The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced last week that CTfastrak bus rapid transit system will be offering free rides for all passengers during the initial nine days of service starting on Saturday, March 28, 2015.
The free service, from March 28th to April 5th, is available on all new CTfastrak green branded buses and on buses that use the bus-only roadway. Free service includes new CTfastrak circulator routes and the four new or expanded CTtransit express routes from Bristol, Cheshire, Southington and Waterbury. Free transfers from CTfastrak to CTtransit routes are available upon request, but any travel beginning on an existing CTtransit route will require fare payment.
"We're proud of what we've built and we're inviting everyone to try us out. Our goal is to get residents, workers, students and people of all ages to start riding on Connecticut's new bus rapid transit system. Enjoy the ride," said Department of Transportation Commissioner James Redeker.
