TRANSPORTATION \/ MASS TRANSIT <\/b><\/p>\n
Public Transportation
\nResidents of Connecticut have a number of efficient transportation alternatives to driving their own automobiles. The state\u2019s extensive bus and rail mass transit system provides commuter rail lines, branch lines, CTTRANSIT bus divisions, and an entire network of transit districts. Those who are in need of paratransit services will be able to locate assistance in all areas that provide standard fixed-route services. Schedules and routes are designed to meet the widest possible range of public transportation needs for quick commutes to work, school, shopping, and entertainment.<\/p>\n
