    Sept. 15, 2015
    Related To: Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT)

    The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) announced Sept. 11, that in continuing efforts to improve CTfastrakservices, some minor modifications will be made to the schedules of CTfastrak express bus routes. These changes are being implemented as a result of comments received from passengers during the first four months of operation and from a recent customer survey, as well as field observations of travel time and on-time performance.

    Effective Sept. 27, the following changes will be made in response to commenters who requested a second bus arrival in downtown Hartford before 7:00am on the route 923 and a more reliable arrival before 7:00am on the route 925:

    923 – Bristol Express

    • The 5:57AM trip from Bristol to Hartford (6:04AM from Lake Avenue, 6:09AM from Todd Street) will depart 5 minutes earlier, arriving in downtown Hartford on Main Street at 6:40AM.
    • The 6:17AM trip from Bristol to Hartford (6:24AM from Lake Avenue, 6:29AM from Todd Street) will depart 15 minutes earlier, arriving in downtown Hartford on Main Street at 6:50AM.

    925 – Waterbury Express

    Weekdays

    • The 5:52AM trip from Waterbury to Hartford (6:06AM from Hamilton Avenue, 6:16AM from Route 70) will depart 5 minutes earlier, arriving in downtown Hartford on Main Street at 6:50AM.
