CTfastrak Express Bus Service Adjustments Announced

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:
