Posted by Nabinut on Sun Nov 28 23:26:07 2010 On Friday, I traveled to Connecticut in my annual Black Friday ritual. CT Transit as it's called has multiple divisions spread out over the state. I focused on three of the more common divisions: Hartford, New Haven & Stamford. Here are some photos and videos. Enjoy!Hartford: 751, a 2007 New Flyer D40LF assigned to Route 62 is seen leaving Downtown Hartford near Union Station:  In Downtown Hartford, routes are grouped at individual stops. Here, 535 picks up passengers at one such stop:  Like many systems on the east coast, CT Transit provides service to local airports. Here is 2003 D40LF #312 in service on Route 30 to Bradley Airport:  Route 41, which runs from Hartford to New Britain, another CT Transit division is a 45 minute between the two districts. Here is #740 at the start of the run:  In 2002, CT Transit purchased 2 Hybrids as a test. These two are in service for Hartford Division. Here is H301 before a run on Route 56D:  This past year, CT Transit ordered D35LFRs for their suburban operations. Here is A7 loading passengers at West Farms Mall:  Also ordered this year was 32 MCI D4500CTs of which 12 are in CT Transit express colors. Here is 1016 on layover before a start on the 5 Express:  New Haven: New Haven Division operates a Free shuttle from Union Station into Downtown using three 1999 Eldorado EZ Riders. Here is 9902 in front of Union Station:  New Haven Division also rosters 26 1996 NovaBus Classics. Here is 9616 seen near the end of Route G1:  Novabus Classics 9607 & 9616:  Stamford: Stamford, the smallest of the three cities in terms of transit rosters 56 buses, 32 of which are 2001 New Flyer D40LFs. Here is #115 at the Stamford Transportation Center:  Atlantic Square, the main drag in stamford also offers decent bus service outside of the transportation center. Here is #105 on Route 44 before leaving to head to the Transportation Center:  Another route that serves Atlantic Square is the I-Bus, a express service that runs between Stamford & White Plains in Westchester Co, NY. Besides the new MCIs, the night trips also operate New Flyer D40LFs with suburban seating. Here is #132 shortly before departure:  Videos: 1996 Novabus Classic #9616: Series 50/Allison B400R 1999 ElDorado EZ Rider #9902: Cummins ISB/Allison B300R 2001 New Flyer D40LF #123 with a Series 40 engine: 2004 New Flyer D40LF #422 with a Series 50 engine: 2005 New Flyer D40LF #505 with a Cummins ISL engine: Lastly, here is footage from my trip: |

Interesting that they rewrapped the downtown Hartford Shuttle. All in all, great pics. Thanks for sharing them with us!I wonder how the "route renumbering" system is working out. Wasn't the "P" renamed with a number? |
